There's a menu of events to whet everyone's appetite. Local producers showcasing their speciality wares, a cookery theatre with top chefs in action, a celebration of the symbolic landing of the Last Salmon of the Season from the River Tweed, wine tasting to sip and savour, foodie-themed historical re-enactments and a food trail are just a mouthful of Festival treats in store.
