Taste of Kildare returns this summer

KILDARE media representatives gathered to launch one of biggest events in the Kildare calendar, Taste of Kildare 2025, which promises to be bigger and better than ever this year.

Now in its fourth year, Taste of Kildare will celebrate the county’s rich food heritage and growing culinary scene, with a weekend of live chef demonstrations, artisan food markets, craft drinks, family entertainment and street food from across the region on 16-17 August at Naas Racecourse.

This year’s festival also promises new features including undercover BBQ areas, a makers’ market, and live music throughout the weekend.

Into Kildare, the official tourism board for County Kildare, hosted a media lunch at Lily & Wild, the elegant dining venue at Naas Racecourse. The event offered a flavour-filled preview of the upcoming festival.

Bloggers and journalists from Kildare gathered with the Into Kildare team to hear what’s in store for one of Ireland’s standout summer food festivals. Guests enjoyed a specially curated lunch showcasing local produce, while Áine Mangan, CEO of Into Kildare, shared exciting plans for this year’s expanded programme.
