Looking forward to Bord Bia Bloom 2024 are twins AJ and Brooke Stewart
The organisers of Bord Bia Bloom have announced that two food exhibitors from Co. Clare will feature at this year’s event, which takes place over the June bank holiday weekend.
Wild Irish Seaweeds from Quilty and Burren Smokehouse from Lisdoonvarna will join the almost 100 food and drink exhibitors confirmed for this year’s line-up at Phoenix Park in Dublin.
The festival takes place from May 30 to June 3 and promises attendees a great day out with its colourful collection of show gardens, tantalising displays of Irish food and drink, inspiring talks and demos, and live interactive entertainment for visitors of all ages.
Now in its 18th year, Bord Bia Bloom expects to welcome more than 100,000 visitors over five action-packed days for another experience that is rooted in sustainable living.
Speaking at the launch of this year’s event, Jim O’Toole, CEO of Bord Bia said: “We are immensely proud of how Bord Bia Bloom has developed as a unique festival experience. Bloom was originally founded to provide a premier platform for showcasing Irish horticulture, food, and drink and we have succeeded in delivering on this vision."

He continued: “As we look forward to the eighteenth year, the festival is more relevant than ever. Bloom offers visitors the opportunity to sample quality products and innovations, while also providing an interactive, national platform to address important societal issues and hear stories from communities around Ireland.
According to Laura Douglas, Head of Bord Bia Bloom and Brand Partnerships, a ticket to Bloom promises a great day out whether coming with friends, a partner or family. "With our beautiful show gardens, live entertainment, fantastic selection of food and drink and five stages jam packed with talks and demos, there is simply no other festival like Bloom in Ireland," she commented.
