Carlingford Festival, probably the most relaxing seafood festival in Ireland. From incredible views across the lough to the quaint old streets of Carlingford, you’ll be in heaven!

The famous festival which promises five fun filled days from Thursday 9th – Monday 13th August 2018 is looking forward to a packed programme of fun, delicious gastronomy and oyster pearl antics..!

The well known ‘lovely girl’ competition that crowned over 25 pearls since its inception and made many a mammy cry with pride, is polishing up the crown ready for the 2018 contest.

Participants will prepare for tasks like lunch on Carlingford Lough, tractor riding at Carlingford Oyster Farm, strutting their stuff on the catwalk, water activities (courtesy of the Carlingford Adventure Centre), dining out in Carlingford’s award winning restaurants and living it up at the finale night at The Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford.
