Savour Kilkenny Food Festival is back this October Bank Holiday Weekend, transforming The Parade and Castle Road into a bustling hub of flavour, fun, and food discovery on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th of October 2025. This year’s Savour Market promises to be the biggest and most diverse yet with over 100 artisan food and drink stalls and the return of festival favourites including the Craft Brewers and Distillers Marquee, Savour and Taste Stage and the expansion of the Food Producer Pavilion.

Visitors can look forward to mouth-watering new additions, from the viral baked potatoes that have captured social media fame from the Irish Jacket Potato, to a rich selection of local and international cuisines from some of Ireland’s best street food vendors and artisan producers.

“The Savour Market is at the heart of our festival, it’s where some of the best food vendors come together for one weekend here in Kilkenny,” said Marian Flannery, Festival Director of Savour Kilkenny. “With more than 100 stalls, a fantastic mix of returning favourites and exciting newcomers, and the buzz of live cookery demonstrations, it’s set to be another fantastic weekend.”

The much-loved Craft Brewers and Distillers Marquee also makes a welcome return, showcasing Ireland’s best brewers and distillers. Visitors can meet the makers, sample their offering, and soak in the atmosphere with DJ Cleveland Mike.

Adding to the excitement, Avonmore, one of Kilkenny’s most iconic food brands, returns with an exciting tasting stand beside the Savour Stage, showcasing both new innovations and family favourites alongside interactive experiences, competitions, and prizes.
