The event taking place from 12pm to 6pm on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 is a “vibrant celebration of our deep-rooted maritime heritage.”

It is set to have something for everyone including seafood tastings to music sessions that will have you dancing by the sea, with no shortage of entertainment.

The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Brian McDonagh is excited for the event, but has warned of the seagulls.

“In Fingal we are blessed with 88 km of magical coastline and Howth is one of the highlights,” he said.

“The Maritime and Seafood Festival next weekend is a great chance to enjoy Howth at its best. The sea air, live music, a fantastic new playground and a great opportunity to support local artisans.

“But remember, don’t feed the seals or the seagulls.”
