A free summer festival in Comber celebrating PGI Comber Earlies potatoes, with guest chefs, an artisan food market and family fun.

This one-day festival celebrates Comber Earlies, the PGI-protected new potatoes grown around the town, together with other local food and drink. There are guest chefs and cookery demonstrations in the festival kitchen, an artisan food market, food and drink stalls, live music, family entertainment and a vintage tractor display.

It is part of the council's Taste Summer programme. Entry is free, with small charges for some activities. A quiet hour from 10am to 11am, with reduced capacity, comes before the main event (11am–5pm). The council does not recommend bringing dogs because the site gets busy and noisy, though assistance dogs are welcome.
