"The Intercultural Food and Craft event will afford members of the local community the prospect of sampling food from various cultures.”

Local Producers

South Dublin County Council said the markets will promote local enterprise and develop a sense of community by utilising where possible local producers and crafts people, including Local Enterprise Office South Dublin (LEO) start-up clients.

"Corkagh Park is a beautiful location, and the markets add a vibrancy and dynamic that has been highly regarded in previous years," said Cllr Alan Edge, Mayor of South Dublin County Council.

"I encourage the local communities to come along to support and experience all these markets have to offer.”
