A Taste of What’s in Store at the Food Village and Market at Bloom 2017

Bord Bia’s Bloom, may have set down its roots as a gardening festival initially, but over the year the bank holiday weekend festival has grown into one of the most anticipated good food and drink experiences of the year too.

Coming back to Dublin’s Phoenix Park from Thursday 1st June to Monday 5th June, this year’s Bloom will be no exception with over 100 local food and drink producers onsite, many of Ireland’s top chefs and a whole host of stages and features for those looking to learn.

The Food Village, which will once again be a key feature at Bloom 2017, this year will host debates on topics such as the social media phenomenon that is #FoodPorn, the rise in the popularity of premium Irish Gin, and the so called “clean eating” craze.
