After moving down the street from its original location in the Iveagh Gardens, they are expecting 34,000 guests for their largest celebration yet this year in the city centre plaza.

The event “will bring a constellation of well-known Irish chefs, restaurants, artisan food innovators, and musical acts together for a truly remarkable experience for the senses.” The organisers have also enlisted the support of Danish furniture company JYSK as a sponsor.

“This year marks a new chapter in the story of Taste of Dublin as we host the festival in the historic surroundings of Merrion Square for the first time and welcome JYSK as our headline sponsor,” a spokeswoman for Taste said.

“Working with the JYSK creative team to create a genuinely one-of-a-kind festival experience while adhering to the enchantment that has come to represent our event for the past 19 years has been a delight.”
