Inistioge Vintage and Fun Day, much-loved annual event was held last Saturday 3rd August in the beautiful riverside village of Inistioge, Kilkenny. Celebrating local heritage and community spirit, the day drew visitors from near and far for a fun-filled experience that blended nostalgia with entertainment for all ages. One of the main attractions was the impressive display of vintage vehicles, including classic cars, tractors, and farm machinery, lovingly restored and showcased by passionate collectors. These exhibits offered a glimpse into rural Ireland’s agricultural and motoring past.
The event also featured a vibrant mix of family-friendly activities. Children enjoyed pony rides, face painting, and bouncy castles, while adults browsed craft stalls, listened to live traditional music, and sampled delicious local produce from food vendors. There were also games, raffles, and novelty competitions that added to the festive atmosphere.
Organised and supported by local volunteers, Inistioge Vintage and Fun Day raised funds for Carlow/Kilkenny Homecare Team, giving the event real meaning beyond the fun. It was a celebration of village life, history, and togetherness — a true highlight of the summer calendar.
