Taste of Kildare returns this summer

Taste of Kildare returns to Naas Racecourse in August for a fourth year in a row.

Organised by Into Kildare and Kildare County Council, is making a return on Saturday and Sunday (16-17 August) at the scenic Naas Racecourse.

Visitors can look forward to an incredible array of attractions that celebrate the best of food, drink, and entertainment. The festival will feature local food and drink stalls, where vendors will showcase the finest produce from Kildare and beyond.

Whether you're seeking artisanal cheeses, freshly baked goods, or craft beverages, there will be plenty to explore and savour.

For those craving something hot and freshly prepared, a variety of food trucks and BBQ delights will be serving up mouth-watering dishes to satisfy every taste. From gourmet burgers and wood-fired pizzas to smoky grilled meats and plant-based treats, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

The undercover producer market offers a fantastic opportunity to meet local artisans and discover high-quality ingredients to take home. Here, visitors can browse stalls filled with handmade preserves, premium cuts of meat, specialty coffees, and much more—all while learning the stories behind the products directly from the passionate producers.

A major highlight of the event is the live chef demonstrations, where top culinary talent will take the stage to showcase their skills.

To enhance the vibrant festival atmosphere, music and live entertainment will be a central feature throughout the event. 

Tickets will be on sale from Wednesday (16 April) with an early bird special of €10 running until 6 May.
