Such is the force that is Mayo GAA, its reach even expands to the foodie community. Due to the unforeseen All-Ireland semi-final replay between Mayo and Kerry coinciding with what was the original weekend of the Food Fleadh Ballina, 25-27 August, the festival’s organisers postponed it until 8-9 September to facilitate the masses travelling to Croagh Park.
Such is the force that is Mayo GAA, its reach even expands to the foodie community.
Due to the unforeseen All-Ireland semi-final replay between Mayo and Kerry coinciding with what was the original weekend of the Food Fleadh Ballina, 25-27 August, the festival’s organisers postponed it until 8-9 September to facilitate the masses travelling to Croagh Park.
The rescheduled Food Fleadh Ballina will still showcase the very best of west of Ireland food and it will retain the same great programme of events, including the Saturday market in the Military Quarter, where there will be plenty of stalls, demonstrations, competitions, children’s cookery classes and cooking workshops.
The inaugural Yeast Meets West Craft Brew Fest, the Mayo on Stage musical programme and cocktail-making demonstrations by award-winning mixologists will also take place across the weekend.
For more information and a full line-up of events, see the Food Fleadh Ballina Facebook page or visit www.ballina.ie.
