The heat is turned off, the food shelves are bare, the giant Ferris Wheel is slowing down and the crowds have all gone home leaving a legacy of great memories from this year’s successful Rockin’ Food & Fruit Festival at Enniscorthy.
The big talking point was the massive crowds in Enniscorthy town centre on Saturday and Sunday, the kind not witnessed since the halcyon days of the famous Strawberry Fayre. And despite a dodgy weather forecast for the weekend, the weather was on best behaviour.
The crowds were everywhere. The stalls were thronged throughout both days, the night-time music venues enjoyed ‘packed houses’ and the amusements and the Ferris Wheel were extremely busy.
Chairman of the Festival Committee Eric Barron told WexfordLocal.com that the organisers were delighted at the success of this year’s event. “We had great crowds on both days, and it was a true family friendly festival,” he added.
Cathaoirleach of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council, Cllr John O’Rourke, who spoke at the official launch in Enniscorthy Castle on Friday night said it was a big success for the town and he complimented the organisers and sponsors for their great work for the town.
