Popular Fingal food markets return for Summer 2026

Fingal Food Market

After a successful pilot season last year Fingal County Council have announced the return of the popular Fingal food markets. Branded Explore Fingal Markets, they take place in three venues over the summer: Swords Castle, the Casino Model Railway Museum in Malahide and new for 2026, two dates at Millennium Park, Blanchardstown.

Explore Fingal Markets begin in May and continue throughout the summer with free entry to all markets. All take place on Saturdays, and the wide range of stallholders has a focus on local produce with strong representation from both Fingal Food Circle and Fingal Farmers. Stallholders interested in trading at any of the markets are invited to email  [email protected] . 

More details will be available on the Explore Fingal website and socials. 

Fingal County Council is also supporting independent markets around Fingal. Developing food markets is part of implementing the Food and Drink Policy and Tourism Strategy.
