English: The Maritime Festival hosted the biggest (and best!) outdoor market in the city, with a fabulous selection of crafts, clothing, jewellery, paintings, flowers and plants, as well as the mouth-watering gourmet meats, cheeses and breads. The quayside market stalls kept even the most committed shopaholic happy, with over 100 traders offering a vast selection of gourmet goodies and crafts from around Ireland and beyond. Located on both sides of the river Liffey, stallholders from around the country as well as Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Africa and the UK were on hand to tempt shoppers with a mouth-watering array of gourmet foods. Eat there or take home freshly cooked prawns and garlic potatoes, French bread baked on site, traditional paella, croissants and pains au chocolat, churros con chocolate, as well as German bratwurst, Belgian chocolates, olives, tapenades, Dutch cheeses and lots of seafood.
