This year's Looe Food and Drink Festival has been cancelled due to the strong winds forecast.
The festival which was due to take place on Sunday was cancelled today (September 12) after strong winds forecast raised safety concerns.
Organisers said the decision was "not made lightly" and they were "devasted."
The festival was due to take place on East Looe Quayside and would have seen food and drink stalls and chef demonstrations.
In a statement on their Facebook page organisers said: "It is with an extremely heavy heart that we announce that this year’s Looe Food & Drink Festival will be unable to go ahead.
"Safety is, and has always been, our main priority for the festival.
"The winds forecast on Sunday are just too strong to allow any marquee to be safely erected, and keep our vendors, chefs and visitors safe.
"This is not a decision that we made lightly, as a new festival, the cancellation is costly and gutting. We are devastated.
"We’ll be working hard behind the scenes to ensure Looe Food Festival lives on & is back next year."
The festival also paid thanks to Cornish Collection, The Sardine Factory, Looe Harbour and Looe Town Council for their work behind the scenes.
