Organised by Ards and North Down Borough Council in partnership with Food NI and the Comber Earlies Co-operative, The Comber Potato festival will run from July 2nd to July 5th. The event is now in it’s third year, celebrating the harvest of the Comber Earlies.<\/p>\n
These famous potatoes, which have been granted EU \u2018Protected Geographical Indication\u2019, are special both because of the unique climate and geographic position of Comber – which produces the distinctive earthy, sweet and nutty flavour, and the expertise and dedication of the farmers who grow them.<\/p>\n
The Family Festival day on Saturday 4th July provides the perfect opportunity to sample the Comber Earlies at their very best and will also feature a host of other culinary delights from local artisan food producers including chutneys, cheese, speciality breads, sweet treats and much more.\u00a0 There will also be children\u2019s entertainment and a parade, workshops, petting farms and arts & crafts.<\/p>\n
Other entertainment during the festival includes a town Tractor Run and BBQ and a Sunday Thanksgiving Service.<\/p>\n
