Harpenden's Premier Food Festival

A celebration of the best of Food and Drink at Harpenden’s premier festival


Harpenden Town Council is delighted to announce the return of the Harpenden Food and Drink Festival on Saturday 17th September, 12-6pm.  This exciting event proved to be hugely popular last year, welcoming around 15,000 people, and again promises to be a highlight for residents and visitors to the Town.


Not only will the occasion feature more than 70 food stalls, from fresh market-stall produce to a diverse array of street food to suit everyone’s taste, the weekend will also include outdoor community seating areas, a DJ playing summer time hits, a live music stage and a children’s zone featuring Captain Fantastic entertainment, face painting, outdoor games, soft play, and Storytime by Harpenden Library. The Harpenden Arms will run two bars, Oktoberfest will offer an authentic German experience at their bar and Eden events will be serving frozen cocktails.


A real hit in 2021 was the live music and this year should be just as much a highlight with bands performing

throughout the day. There will be performances from duo cover band Leader, Right as Rain pop rock, and indie rock from The Maida Vales.


Harpenden Town Mayor, Cllr Lisa Scriven said: “The Harpenden Food and Drink Festival presents an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy all that Harpenden has to offer – showcasing local businesses, and our beautiful green spaces and High Street, of which we are so proud. We look forward to welcoming everyone young and old.”
