Kilkenny is home to many local food and craft producers. There is nothing quite like buying a locally made gift or enjoying lunch made fresh before your eyes. Work up an appetite enjoying the St. Patrick’s Festival Kilkenny festivities then stop by Festival Market on the Mayor’s Walk (right beside the Parade in Kilkenny city) where vendors will be serving a range of street food. Find your favourite and dine at the Festival benches on the Parade, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the entertainment and performances throughout the weekend.
