Block out your calendars, Colmore Food Festival will return on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, 2025. After four years away, the free-to-attend food festival settled back into its original home of Victoria Square last September and attracted over 30,000 visitors. And we’re excited to see it return as the food and drink trader line up is revealed.
The 31-piece trader lineup features some of Birmingham’s best hospitality organisations from across the city and is the largest and most diverse trader selection in the event’s recent years. It promises to be another spectacular two-day event filled with food, fun, and family-friendly activities – with a vibrant mix of culinary offerings from across the area, all at ‘affordable prices’.
“This weekend in July is going to be a phenomenal one for Birmingham!” Alex Tross, Deputy Chair of the Colmore BID Board said. “With our biggest trader line up in recent years with big names from Colmore and beyond, we can’t wait to bring businesses, hospitality venues and local community together to enjoy great food whilst celebrating the vibrant culture of the District.”
In 2025, you can see many Brummie legends make Victoria Square their home over the weekend, including Adams, Asha’s, Isaac’s, JAVA Roastery, Kuula Poke, La-Pop!, Pasture, Qavali, Tiger Bites Pig, UCB College of Food, Wayland’s Yard, Yorks Café, Loki, The Mayan, and many more. In addition, festivalgoers can enjoy performances from local entertainers, including musicians, dancers and more.
In recognition of the rising cost of living, Colmore BID is once again committing to a price cap on all food and drink items for the 2025 edition. Plus, the festival will also offer free craft activities and books to children to aid children’s education and ease the cost-of-living burden for families – including free face painting, appearances from popular children’s mascots, and a lively Kids Party hour where little ones can dance and play the day away.
