Ireland is known for its festivals and Carlow isn’t shy about holding them in its town and surrounding villages. The County is still glowing from the successful 11 day Carlow Garden Festival and with it fresh in mind, are about to have an afternoon of ‘Food, Craft & family festival fun’ with the upcoming Taste of Carlow Festival on Sunday, 31st August.<\/strong> This will be closely followed by several events during\u00a0Heritage Week<\/a>, The County Carlow Golf Classic<\/a>\u00a0and then the\u00a0excellent sounding Carlow Autumn Walking Festival<\/a>, though I might be biased about that one as a walker and not a golfer \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The Taste of Carlow is a food and craft fair that will be taking place from noon until 6.00pm<\/strong> on the River Barrow Promenade, Barrow Track and Carlow Town Park<\/strong>. In its 4th year, #TasteCarlow will feature local craft and food producers as well as food demonstrations by Carlow chefs, tasting menus, bungee trampoline, kite flying, face painting, water activities and musical\/family entertainment.<\/p>\n For just six hours we’re promised lots of festival fun by the picturesque River Barrow.<\/p>\n We’ll be able to see, smell and taste artisan food displays with cheeses, juices, jams, chutneys, crepes, beverages, home baking, fresh meat, organic fruit and vegetables, organic home-made burgers and chips, ice cream and mouth-watering chocolates. Cheese making demonstrations will be delivered by Tom Burgess of Coolattin Cheddar and the Carlow Bee Keepers Association will give an insight into the fascinating world of honey (I’m looking forward to that one!).<\/p>\n
