The inaugural East Galway Food Festival takes place at St Brendan’s Home, Loughrea, this Saturday from 12 noon to 5pm.
The festival will be held in honour of Stoney Brennan, a local character who was hanged for stealing a turnip long ago. The festival aims to highlight the quality of locally-produced food, the music and folklore of the district, and the nearby Slieve Aughty mountains.
Among the events organised will be a BBQ in aid of Enable Ireland, and a concert of music, song, and poetry. There will be 20 stalls providing a wide range of fruit, vegetables, fine foods, and crafts. There will also be bouncy castles, face painting, and a picnic area.
Stalls can still be organised and entrants for the bread making competition are still welcome. For more information contact 087 - 9296163. For more information on the overall festival contact 087 - 6797801 or email [email protected]
