This year’s FREE festival will be taking place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September and, as well as our regular crowd favourites, will have a new addition – cocktail and mocktail masterclasses courtesy of Saint Judes in Glasgow, who will be bringing along their resident mixologist for classes, as well as providing their very own cocktail bar!

Our cocktail and mocktail masterclasses hosted by Glasgow’s Saint Judes will be on both days and hosted by their resident mixologist.
All masterclasses will be one hour long and the 11am one will feature mocktail-making and is open to anyone aged 6 and over, while the 1pm and 3pm sessions will be cocktails so they’re for over 18’s only!

Loch Lomond Food & Drink Festival 2024
Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th Sept from 10am to 5pm
This FREE festival will be all things food and drink as well as some family fun. We’ll have cooking demos and workshops, lots of street food featuring food from all over the world, stalls featuring everything from fresh produce to fabulous gift ideas, as well as children’s rides and live entertainment.
Foodie Market
And, of course no food and drink festival would be complete without lots and lots of amazing vendors featuring all sorts of tasty treats including cakes from Three Sisters Bake, Silly Cookie and a full Gluten-free selection from Big Daft Cakes, and lots more to suit everyone’s sweet tooth! O’Donnell Moonshine will be back with their fabulous Mason Jars filled with delicious flavours for mixing your own cocktails at home. There’s Gins, and liqueurs and Necropolis Spirits Rum. For beer lovers there’s Wild Barn Brewery and there’s non-alcoholic options too, including the aptly-named Naesip drinks!
Street Food
We have plenty of street food options to enjoy on-the-go, with Mama Del’s Filipino Food, gourmet sausages and burgers from Continental Catering, plus Mexican tacos and burritos, Greek Gyros, Japanese and Thai options, not to mention Haggis Galore with all things haggis, including Nachos, bon bons, loaded fries and even haggis burgers!
As well as all our amazing food and drink related activities, we also have Lomond Radio entertaining everyone all weekend long as well as a selection of very talented buskers around the site.
Family festival fun will also big this year, with children’s characters The Sanderson Sisters visiting us on Saturday while all weekend we’ll have children’s rides, stilt walkers and fun mascots added to our playpark, SEA LIFE centre, Treezone, Bird of Prey Centre and water sports, boat trips and boat hire so all the family can have a great day out!
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming back our chefs, who always do such an amazing job in engaging with all our foodies and providing exciting recipes for them to go home and try themselves.
Also, to be welcoming Rox for her Wild Food and Medicine Walks and Saint Judes with their Mocktail and Cocktail Masterclasses, is great as we love bringing new things to the festival for our regulars and offer even more for first-time festival goers!”
