After 47 years running, Strawberry Fest is simply the best summer party in Ireland! A celebration of our famous strawberry with the Queen, drama, music, art, food, a funfair, pub talent and events for little ones.
The Promenade of Enniscorthy hosts top class Irish talent to entertain the thousands who love the craic at very affordable prices. Enjoy music, children's entertainment, the All-Ireland Farmers Market, art, drama and poetry delights, the artisan marketplace and Wexford Food Family Fayre.
Enjoy food made for royal taste-buds (especially the strawberry!) at food stalls and markets as well as speciality dishes created by local chefs. The festival 'Queen' is enthralled when home-cooks and chefs compete with the creative use of the strawberry in A Taste of Wexford Strawberries. She loves the thrill of a race and enjoys the parade of her loyal subjects at the BerryBestHat at the dog track. To cap it off, Princesses compete to become Queen of the famous Co. Wexford Strawberry for a year, starting with the royal celebration of the outgoing queen at a ball.
If you want great craic, and to meet the friendliest locals and Princesses, join in the fun at the pub talent show! The adventurous among you will enjoy McFadden's fun fair rides while the royalty sip wine at the Chic Lit master classes with famous authors and enjoy the Knitted Garden creation! Strawberry Fest is an essential summer experience.
