enue: Howth Packed with lots of fun and food delights, the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival featured a food village packed with food stalls and tasting sessions with everything from top quality seafood to freshly sourced local foods from some of the region’s finest restaurants and artisans. Other food events included cookery demonstrations, wine-tasting events and prawn shelling competitions. During the day there was street entertainment and a programme of walks, talks and seaside antics.
