Colmore Food Festival returns to Victoria Square in 2024
Colmore BID, one of the UK’s leading Business Improvement Districts, has announced the dates for its renowned Colmore Food Festival for 2024.
From Friday 13 to Saturday 14 September the much-loved festival will return to its original home in Victoria Square.
The award-winning event will provide guests with an appetising and affordable selection of mouth-watering taster dishes from the traders’ latest menus.
Stalls will be made up of local restaurants, coffee shops, bars and hotels offering a selection of meat, vegetarian, and vegan options, as well as a selection of wines, beers, cocktails, and soft drinks. As always, organisers are placing price caps on food and drinks, creating an affordable but unforgettable experience.
The must-visit festival showcases some of the best food and drink offerings from across the Colmore Business District and attracts over 30,000 visitors each year.
Colmore BID will now be reaching out to hospitality venues operating in the District to offer them the opportunity to showcase taster-size portions of their menu items at the festival’s stalls.
Michelin star chef and Restaurateur Glynn Purnell, who owns two restaurants within the Colmore Business District said: “The Colmore Food Festival is a one-of-a-kind event which celebrates the best of Birmingham’s food and drinks scene, right in the beating heart of our amazing city.
“Whether you’re a diehard foodie or just fancy sampling the best of the District’s hospitality offer, Colmore Food Festival will once again play host to many food and drink stalls this September, with a range of options available to tingle everyone’s tastebuds!
“Food and drink are so central to the way we mark special occasions and the way that we socialise with others, so it is wonderful to be able to offer the people of Birmingham the space to come together, mingle and just soak up the festive atmosphere.
“With lots of entertainment planned for the weekend, it is a great way of celebrating how multicultural our local community is, reflecting our vibrant city and all that it has to offer.”
Alex Tross, deputy chair of Colmore BID added: “Every year the city has more and more to offer when it comes to food and drink, and the Colmore Food Festival showcases exactly that, whilst at the same time supporting the local businesses in the District.”
Live music lovers will be treated to great tunes throughout the weekend, featuring performances from a range of local talents.
Colmore Food Festival will be open for visitors from 11am to 8pm Friday and Saturday, and will take place in Victoria Square, overlooking the Council House and Town Hall.
