Foods of Athenry at the Cong Food Festival: A Weekend of Great Food, Great People & Community Spirit
Foods of Athenry at the Cong Food Festival
The Cong Food Festival once again proved why it's one of Ireland's most enjoyable celebrations of local food, artisan producers and community spirit. Over two fantastic days, the Foods of Athenry team had the pleasure of exhibiting at this wonderful event, meeting customers old and new while sharing our passion for award-winning Irish baking.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Cong, County Mayo, the festival brought together food lovers, local businesses and artisan producers from across the country. It was the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything that makes Irish food so special—quality ingredients, passionate producers and a strong sense of community.

Meeting Our Wonderful Customers
One of the best parts of attending food festivals is the opportunity to connect directly with the people who enjoy our products every day.
Throughout the weekend, we were delighted to catch up with many of our loyal customers while also introducing Foods of Athenry to visitors discovering our bakery for the very first time. From conversations about gluten-free living to sharing favourite products and recipe ideas, every interaction reminded us why we love attending local events.
As a family-run Irish bakery, these personal connections mean everything to us.
Celebrating Award-Winning Irish Food
Visitors to our stand had the opportunity to sample a selection of our award-winning range, including our delicious granolas, oat bars, cookies, soda bread toasts and sweet treats.
Whether people were already familiar with Foods of Athenry or tasting our products for the first time, it was wonderful to see so many enjoying our range and discovering that gluten-free food can be every bit as delicious as traditional baking.
Our mission has always been to create food that everyone can enjoy—bringing together exceptional taste, quality ingredients and trusted gluten-free production.
Sunshine, Smiles and a Fantastic Atmosphere
We couldn't have asked for better weather.
The sunshine created the perfect backdrop for a memorable weekend, with the village buzzing from morning until evening. Visitors explored artisan food stalls, met local producers and enjoyed the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has made the Cong Food Festival a highlight of Ireland's food calendar.
It was fantastic to see so many people passionate about supporting Irish businesses and celebrating the incredible quality of food produced across the country.
