About

This year’s event will introduce a new festival identity, to be unveiled in early September. While Bushmills remains the festival’s home, the refreshed concept will place an even greater spotlight on the exceptional food and drink experiences found across Causeway Coast and Glens, celebrating the region’s producers, makers, growers, chefs, brewers and distillers.

The programme features a wide range of attractions, including food and drink tastings, artisan producer showcases and cookery demonstrations from local and celebrity chefs. Visitors can discover the diversity of the regions’s food and drink offering through unique foodie experiences, local produce
markets, street food, craft beverages and opportunities to meet the people behind some of the region’s most renowned and emerging brands.

Alongside the food and drink programme, visitors can enjoy live music, street entertainment, artisan markets, craft activities, workshops and family-friendly experiences throughout the festival weekend.
