Sunday, April 4th saw large crowds descending on Mallow’s main street for the food and crafts fair. The street was pedestrianized from the O’Brien Street junction to the Clock House, allowing a diverse group of traders from Mallow and further afield to show their wares.

A huge variety of gastronomic delights were on offer, from local cheeses and pastries, to Indian spices, and my own favourite – the devastating rebel chili sauce.

Some interesting crafts were on display, including a range of healing and decorative crystals from local business Crystal Earth.

At the bottom of the street, a steady stream of top notch entertainers wowed children and parents alike.
