Blanchardstown Market at Millennium Park (Blanch Fest Weekend)

What to Expect

Blanchardstown’s food market is part of Explore Fingal Markets, the county council’s summer programme that brings Fingal Food Circle and Fingal Farmers producers into public parks across the area. Millennium Park hosts two standalone market dates each summer plus a bigger stall line-up for Blanch Fest, and the next date in the calendar is the Blanch Fest weekend itself, Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August 2026, when the food market runs alongside the wider festival. Expect fresh produce, breads, cheeses, preserves and prepared food from local growers and small producers, all under the same free-entry format the council uses at its other Fingal markets.

Getting There

Millennium Park sits just off the N3/Navan Road corridor in Blanchardstown, a short walk from Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. Dublin Bus routes serving Blanchardstown town centre stop within walking distance, and there is parking at the adjacent shopping centre for anyone driving out from the city.

While You’re There

Blanch Fest itself runs across the same weekend, so the market weekend usually comes with a wider programme of family entertainment, live music and stalls beyond the food market alone in Millennium Park. The park has open green space and walking paths, making it easy to turn a market visit into a longer afternoon out, especially with children in tow. Blanchardstown Shopping Centre next door has cafes and further shops if the weather turns or the market itself is smaller than expected on a given date.
