Tralee

After two years like no other we are absolutely elated to finally be in a position to announce the return of the Tralee Food Festival over the May Bank Holiday weekend April 29th- May 2nd. With this welcome return comes some big news, the Tralee Food Festival has partnered with Calor Ireland as its major sponsor.&nbsp;
After what should have seen the festival mark its 6th year in 2020, the Tralee Food Festival and its committee are working hard to deliver the biggest festival yet. With a well renowned national partner in Calor, organisers are excited to see the festival grow in size. Calor has committed resources and expertise to support with the expanded programme of events, further cementing Tralee Food Festival as a ‘must-attend’ on the Foodie calendar.
Calor has been supporting grass roots community initiatives and events in rural Ireland for over 80 years. Local communities are the beating heart of its business and through its community engagement, corporate commitment, and employee volunteering initiatives, the company is making a difference in local communities throughout the island of Ireland.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ideally located, Tralee is very fortunate to be able to celebrate the amazing food offerings of the region. Our chefs, restaurants, food producers and establishments have earned a strong reputation for their creativity and skill. This was confirmed after Tralee was shortlisted for the Foodie Town Destination awards in 2019.&nbsp;
This year’s festival will include all the regular favourites: artisan food markets in the square; street food on the Mall; two day Taste Trails; Food &amp; Family Day; Cooking Demonstrations; Drinks Trail; live music; plus a few surprises along the way.
David Scott, the festival coordinator, said, ‘After a 2-year hiatus the return of the food festival is very welcome news for Tralee. TFF has always been committed to improving on the festival each year and now that we’re returning it has to be bigger than ever before and I know people are eager to get back out enjoying themselves.’
Speaking about the partnership, Jennifer Fagan, Retail Brand Manager at Calor, said: “Calor is truly delighted to be lead sponsor for the Tralee Food Festival, and in events taking place throughout the course of the weekend. Kerry is a county steeped in culture, tradition and beautiful scenery, and the festival is an opportunity to promote local businesses in a community that Calor serve. Working with local communities is important to Calor as well as supporting indigenous Irish businesses. The weekend is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the fantastic food and culinary skills of the area. Calor is proud to be involved in showcasing the very best of Tralee’s food experiences.”&nbsp;&nbsp;
This festival is supported by the Kerry County Council - Tralee Municipal District Community Support Fund.
