The event offered a flavour-filled preview of the upcoming Taste of Kildare festival, set to return to Naas Racecourse on 16 and 17 August 2025.
Media representatives from Kildare gathered to hear what’s in store for one of Ireland’s standout summer food festivals. Guests enjoyed a specially curated lunch showcasing local produce, while Áine Mangan, CEO of Into Kildare, shared exciting plans for this year’s expanded programme.
