Howth Festival this weekend?

goodmum

Does anyone know if this weekends festival in howth is the one with music etc on the main pier? I've been to the last few and it's always great (jugglers, taekwondo demonstrations and loads for kids to do etc) but I've googled it and can only see it being advertised as a 'Music festival' with bands advertised playing in various pubs etc?

So is it the one on the pier or a different music only, fesitval? thanks

Unlikely to be much outdoor music as there are amusements and a ferris wheel on the promenade.

Awful website.

Also there's an 50euro food tour thing on over the weekend. It has a few itineraries. I'll get some more info later.

AFAIK - it's not just a music festival. I'd say there will be music on the East Pier. There is also a Search & Rescue demonstration on Saturday afternoon.
