Dublin’s legendary culinary festival, Taste of Dublin, is set to return this June with another explosion of flavours and food innovation. This iconic event will take place for the first time in one of Dublin’s most beautiful Georgian Squares – the historic Merrion Square. To mark this new location the festival has also revealed JYSK, the Danish interiors retailer, as its headline sponsor.  

This year’s edition spotlights the remarkable surge in Irish culinary creativity. The larger festival footprint will ensure a more immersive experience for food aficionados. Taste of Dublin will take place from the 13-16 of June with more than 34,000 people expected to attend the event.  

The festival will bring a constellation of well-known Irish chefs, restaurants, artisan food innovators, and musical acts together for a remarkable experience for the senses. Cultural diversity in food will be at the heart of the festival. Furthermore, together with JYSK and other key sponsors, the organisers are planning several new and exciting activations and visitor activities as part of the 2024 line up.   

Jo Mathews, chief executive officer, Equinox Events, said: “This year marks a new chapter in the story of Taste of Dublin as we host the festival for the first time in the historic surroundings of Merrion Square and welcome JYSK as our headline sponsor.”

Roni Tuominen, country director, JYSK UK & IRE, said: “2024 is a very exciting year for us at JYSK, between opening our new flagship store in Liffey Valley, continuing our expansion nationwide and partnering with Taste of Dublin as the lead sponsor of the festival, we’re really looking forward to the year ahead.  JYSK is one of Ireland’s go-to destinations for high quality, on trend products for the home and garden and we can’t wait to bring our Scandinavian design ethic and style to Taste of Dublin 2024.”
