Food
Food is a cornerstone of the Eats & Beats experience. This year’s festival welcomes back crowd favourites like The Hungry Donkey, The Black Sheep, and Muckross Ice Cream, alongside a selection of exciting new vendors. You can indulge in delicious local food, catering to all tastes and dietary needs.
Alongside great music and food, the festival will also have plenty of local works by artisans, as well as activities to do, for both adults and kids – like a silent disco! This experience lets you choose your own soundtrack, with multiple DJs spinning different genres on wireless headphones. This means you can dance the night away to your favourite hits, from classic disco to pulsing EDM, all without disturbing those around you.
