Flavours of Fingal 2026: Reimagined, bringing it back to the heart of it all

Fingal County Council much loved flagship event, Flavours of Fingal is back once again with a stronger focus to be a more family focused atmosphere in Newbridge House and Farm. This year, festival goers can still revel in the charm of the farmers’ field, breathtaking equestrian displays, and the ever-popular free family fun in the paddocks.

With a fresh layout and new highlights, we’re bringing even closer connections to local food, live music, and interactive activities. Expect all the fun you know and love—with a refreshed twist that makes the 2026 edition one to remember.

Join us for a celebration of rural, community, tradition, and innovation—bringing Fingal together in a reimagined and unforgettable way!

Please note, while dedicated event buses won’t run this year, we encourage using public transport. If driving, book parking early for discounted rates!
