Hugely successful Tipperary food festival set for return next month

One of the most eagerly anticipated days in Nenagh’s calendar, The Taste of Nenagh, is back this September, with the town set to come alive with food, music and entertainment on Saturday, September 5.

The popular festival will see the streets of Nenagh transformed into a celebration of local food and flavours from around the world, with local food providers taking part. Restaurants, cafés, food producers and local vendors will set up around the town, giving visitors the chance to sample a wide variety of delicious dishes and drinks.

There will be plenty happening beyond the food, too, with music on the streets, face painting and a festival atmosphere throughout Nenagh. The event is designed as a family-friendly day out, bringing people into the town centre to enjoy good food, entertainment and the atmosphere of a community celebration.

Adding to the entertainment this year, the Taste of Nenagh Busking Competition will also take place in conjunction with food offering. From 12:30pm to 3:30pm, performers will take to designated locations around the town, with music, song, dance, poetry, play pieces and puppet shows all invited to take part. Groups of between one and six people can enter, with acoustic performances encouraged.

Thanks to a generous €500 prize fund donated by Nenagh Credit Union, there is also plenty to play for. The judge will visit each performer or group during the afternoon before selecting the winner, with the winning buskers invited to perform at the presentation at 4pm.

With dozens of food providers, street entertainment, live performances and a chance to sample tastes from around the world, The Taste of Nenagh promises to bring a real festival buzz to the town on September 5.

So bring the family, grab your tasting tickets and enjoy a day discovering the food, talent and community spirit that Nenagh has to offer. Save the date!
