We’re absolutely delighted that The Power of Food Festival’s annual event will return this June, 10 years after its first edition and 6 years after it last took place!
The Power of Food Festival is for everyone. Whether you’re visiting the city or live here; whether you’re young … or young at heart; rooted in this place or hailing from elsewhere; whether you love growing your own food, or are simply curious to discover what’s on your doorstep.
You’re all very welcome. This is our chance to celebrate these beautiful and productive spaces, and (re)discover the magic of nature and people working together in our city.
Between 14 June and 21 June, as the summer solstice brings the longest days in the year, the 2025 Power of Food Festival will offer a great mix of nine gardens to explore (list below);some well-established ones that are returning to the Festival, others that have developed more recently and are new to the city’s annual celebration.
The Festival will showcase beautiful and joyful community food growing spaces right across the city: from Leith to Wester Hailes, and from Gracemount to Granton. There’ll be a range of fun and inspiring activities for everyone.
Stay tuned for the full #poffest25 programme in a few weeks’ time!
