“Discover, Dine and Delight in Donegal Town”
First held in 2008 the success of the festival has evolved over the years to reach its 10th Anniversary this year. Held over three days at the end of August each year, “A Taste of Donegal” has earned its place on the annual calendar of food events across Ireland. Top restaurants, hotels as well as food and drink providers will exhibit and showcase their offerings. You can browse, meet the producers, smell, taste and purchase some of the finest food and drink available from all over the country and sample products which are new and unfamiliar.
