THE Tralee Food Festival provided the best advert for the town we’ve seen in years.
The weather was ideal, the spread of the food stands between The Square/Dominick Street and the Island of Geese worked a treat and the family atmosphere all combined to make it the best food festival to date and a great platform to build on for next year.
Ken Tobin of the Tralee Food Festival said they were delighted with how things panned out. “It’s been an overwhelming success, we’re incredibly happy with the crowds of people who have shown up over the two days,” he said.

“We see a huge opportunity to grow the festival now, there’s lots of things we would have liked to have done but we were restrained by our budget. But for what we’ve done, the response we received is amazing. Traders had a great two days and there’s lots to build on for 2024.”
Sunday saw massive crowds all over town, many taking the Taste Trail, watching cookery demos and eating at the food stalls. Another attraction was Paschal Sheehy and Maria Walsh taking part in a cook-off in the Square.
Everyone agreed the weekend was a fantastic success and great for the town, so let’s hope they can secure funding to grow the event in 2024. Scroll down for photos…
