Springfest Food and Drink Festival Returns to Loch Lomond Shores in 2026!

UPDATE!

Springfest at Loch Lomond Shores postponed! Now set to take place on 18th and 19th April…

“Forecasted windspeeds on Saturday night mean that it is no longer safe to install all the equipment and temporary structures that are a huge part of the festival.

“We had hoped that forecasted winds would drop but this has sadly not been the case.  Given this, and that our number one priority is the safety of our visitors and festival team, Springfest will now take place on the 18th and 19th April, with hopefully better weather!”
