Loch Lomond Food & Drink Festival 2026

• Dates: Sat 5th & Sun 6th Sept, 2026
• Times: 10am – 5pm both days
• Location: Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch

Set against the iconic backdrop of Ben Lomond, this year’s festival promises to be our most delicious yet. While we’re keeping our star-studded line-up of culinary talent under wraps for just a little longer, you can expect a jam-packed schedule of live entertainment and mouth-watering experiences.

What’s on the Menu?

• The Gourmet Market: Explore a massive selection of local producers, artisan makers, and international street food
• Live Cooking Demonstrations: Live cooking demos with Tony Alberti
• Foraging workshops: With Sharon from Wander and Wonder (Saturday only)
• Family Fun: From funfair rides to kids’ activities and our playpark, there’s plenty to keep the little ones entertained, and we are dog-friendly too, so you can even bring the furry family members!
• The Great Outdoors: Enjoy your treats in our picnic areas, with the best views in Scotland, or take a cruise around the loch with Sweeneys Cruises, direct from our Pontoon, or hire a kayak, pedalo or cycle from Loch Lomond Leisure, located on our beach.

Tickets are FREE, but registration is recommended to help us manage capacity and ensure everyone has a great day out.

Don’t miss out on the highlight of Scotland’s September calendar, kicking off Scotland’s Food & Drink Fortnight.

Grab your tickets now, and keep an eye on your inbox—we’ll be announcing our Celebrity Chef Line-up very soon!

🧑🏻‍🍳BAKEFEST26 POSTPONED🍰

We were really excited to launch our brand-new BAKEFEST later this month, bringing all things baking and sweet treats to the Bonnie Banks. Unfortunately, due to operational issues that we’re unable to resolve in time, we’ve made the decision to postpone BAKEFEST until 2027.

We know you were looking forward to it as much as we were, but don’t worry – BAKEFEST will be back, and we’ll announce the new 2027 date as soon as it’s confirmed! 🧁🍰

In the meantime, there’s still LOTS happening at Loch Lomond Shores! 🙌

🛍️ Sunday Market – 20th September

Our regular Sunday Market will be here as usual, from 10am–4pm.

🛍️ September Bank Holiday Market – Sun 27th & Mon 28th September

We’ll also have a special TWO-DAY Market over the Bank Holiday weekend, with a great selection of traders, food and treats to enjoy.

🐾 Top Dogs Day Out – Saturday 17th October

One of our favourite family events returns, so get those four-legged family members ready!

🎄 Loch Lomond Christmas Festival – 5th & 6th December

We’ll be finishing our festival year in style with our BIG two-day Christmas Festival – festive market, food, Lomond Radio hosting our Festival Stage, and plenty of Christmas cheer on the Bonnie Banks! 🎅✨

So while the ovens will have to wait a little longer for BAKEFEST, our markets and events are still as planned, with plenty more reasons to visit us before the end of the year. 💙

First up – we’ll see you at our Sunday Market on 20th September! 🛍️
