A feast of food, drink, live music and family entertainment will be on offer next weekend as the Loch Lomond Food and Drink Festival returns to the banks of Loch Lomond. Now in its twelfth year, the free-to- attend festival is expected to attract almost 30,000 festival goers to the area on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September.
The festival aims to cater to all tastes, with a huge array of local and national suppliers. A licenced bar area will be serving up everything from locally-brewed ales and ciders, to artisan gins, and visitors can even enjoy wine and prosecco served from a converted horse-box. You can attend free drop-in cookery demos and get inspiration as well as trying some of the great Scottish menu choices that will be on offer from The Shore, when they open at Loch Lomond soon.
Budding junior chefs can also get their hands dirty with free cooking sessions for kids, just one of the free activities for children. Saturday 2nd will see a mini petting zoo with all manner of furry creatures, reptiles and creepy crawlies setting up in Loch Lomond Shores’ Mall.
McIntosh Foods are once again a sponsor of this year’s festival and will be adding to the line-up of free activities for families to enjoy. Their famous haggis-eating competition is sure to be a festival highlight as contestants battle it out to tackle one pound of haggis and be crowned champion. McIntosh Food’s mascot, Mr Macaroni, will also be in attendance.
Kat Kennedy, festival organiser said, “We have been working hard to secure a diverse selection of producers for the festival and we’re sure visitors won’t be disappointed by the excellent selection of foods and drinks on offer from across the country and beyond”.
