The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Brian McDonagh is excited for the event, but has warned of the seagulls.
“In Fingal we are blessed with 88 km of magical coastline and Howth is one of the highlights,” he said.
“The Maritime and Seafood Festival next weekend is a great chance to enjoy Howth at its best. The sea air, live music, a fantastic new playground and a great opportunity to support local artisans.
“But remember, don’t feed the seals or the seagulls.”
There’ll be something for everyone including seafood tastings and music sessions.
Visitors will get to experience the area’s finest local products in vibrant stalls and pop-up shops which is a chance to support Howth’s businesses and artisans.
Fully guided tours and experiences are on offer along with self-guided walks and trails, giving all who visit Howth plenty of things to see and do.
Visitors can see the seaside village on the Fingal coastline, “with a scenic harbour of fishing boats bobbing gently on the water, and the scent of freshly caught seafood fills the air. No wonder why the town was so rightly praised in James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’.”
Visitors are encouraged to take public transport wherever possible, with the DART and bus services taking you directly to the heart of the event.
If public transport is not available to you, there is free parking in Deer Park for this event.
