The Leith Food Festival, Edinburgh 2026

Taking place at Leith Links on 30 and 31 May 2026, this brand new foodie festival has something for everyone on the menu.

Take your pick from live music from soloists and bands to carefully chosen tribute acts; live cookery theatre, where the region’s leading chefs share crash courses in mastering your favourite dishes, and artisan markets, where you’ll find melt-in-the-mouth cheeses, homemade crafts, luxury chocolates, vibrant artwork, and much more.

The street food arena will be serving an eclectic mix of global cuisine from some of Scotland’s top street food vendors. Plus, they’ll be family entertainment, such as magicians, roaming comedy, circus workshops, stilt walkers and more. And if you fancy a challenge, they’ll be some unique experiences on offer, such as The Foodie Olympics and festival scavenger hunt.
