Partners

Waterford Festival of Food is a community-driven event made possible through the support of our partners, sponsors, local businesses and volunteers.

Each year we are proud to work with Irish companies who help bring the festival to life, alongside local businesses who support the festival through our Friends’ Circle. Their continued support helps sustain and grow this unique celebration of food, place and community in West Waterford.

Friends Circle

Local Businesses have been kind enough to join our Friends Circle and to provide ongoing financial support for the festival. This support provides funding for ongoing development and for the future of our festival and promotion of our local food community.

We are very fortunate in West Waterford to have a community that supports our endeavours in showcasing food and drink at its best each year. As part of that community many businesses support our efforts with their generosity of time, facilities and in particular this year, with financial support towards making the next Festival of Food happen.
