TICKETS are now on sale for Taste of Kildare 2026, as the county’s food and drink festival prepares to return to Naas Racecourse on 15 and 16 August for a two-day celebration of local flavour, hospitality, family fun, and with children under 10 going free.
Organised by Into Kildare and supported by Kildare County Council and the Local Enterprise Office, Taste of Kildare has become one of the county’s standout summer events, bringing together the very best of Kildare’s restaurants, cafés, producers, chefs and hospitality businesses in one vibrant setting.
Visitors can look forward to an exciting weekend programme featuring artisan food and drink stalls, live chef demonstrations, tastings, hands-on workshops, live music and entertainment, alongside a dedicated family area designed to make it a great day out for all ages.
Among the highlights this year is the undercover producer market, giving visitors the chance to meet local makers, hear their stories and shop some of the best produce Kildare has to offer.
Handmade preserves, premium meats, speciality coffees and artisan goods will all feature across the weekend.
“Taste of Kildare has become one of the standout events in the county’s summer calendar and a fantastic showcase for the food, hospitality and local businesses that make Kildare so special,” said Áine Mangan, CEO of Into Kildare.
The festival gives visitors a chance to experience the very best of the county while supporting the businesses and producers at the heart of our tourism sector.
