Sustainability

The 2024 Dingle Food Festival is continuing on its mission to be the first Irish “Zero Landfill Waste” festival. Taking place from Friday 4th to Sunday the 6th of October, the festival is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors with 150,000 food tastings on offer. Once again this year, all festival goers are being encouraged to bring their own bowl - bear leat do babhla! For those who don’t, there will be stainless steel bowls available to rent for two euro (with five euro deposit). There will also be festival packs on sale consisting of a bamboo bowl and cutlery set. Taste trail and market outlets will only be serving food onto reusable tableware, with the main aim being to reduce the amount of disposable packaging over the weekend.
