Waterford Festival of Food kicking off today
Dungarvan is a hive of excitement with this year’s Waterford Festival of Food kicking off today, Friday April 25th for 3 days of amazing food, drink, and festival fun
There will even be a giant Seaweed Queen which will move regally through outdoor market crowds during this weekend’s festival!
Waterford Festival of Food CEO Eunice Power says “Spraoi’s Seaweed Queen will bring creativity and environmental awareness together in a beautiful way.”
On Saturday (April 26th) the giant figure will move along Davitt’s Quay at 12.00 and 3.30 p.m. and she will re-appear at Grattan Square at 12.00 and 2.00 p.m. on Sunday.
Pelaria the Seaweed Queen is created by Waterford Spraoi to celebrate Dungarvan Bay’s rich marine life. The Seaweed Queen is raising awareness of the bay’s beauty and vunerability in an era of climate change.
Pelaria the Seaweed Queen is created by Spraoi as part of SETU’s ACT Waterford climate action project in partnership with Waterford City and County Council, and is funded by Creative Ireland.
