Join us for artisan bread workshops led by master bakers, culinary artists and grandmothers. Our festival is located on the working waterfront of Belfast Harbor steps from the beach, kayaking and downtown Belfast, abundant with airbnbs and more.Food as the Bearer of Culture Our Bread Festival takes place during the mid-summer wheat harvest where we will draw on traditions spanning the Caucasus Mountains, Celtic, and Ancient Israel – to tell our stories and celebrate our diverse food traditions. Our program culminates with a seed exchange to continue the momentum of biodiversity into the future.

Workshops integrate three themes:

1. Restoring ancient and heritage grain biodiversity on the verge of extinction,

2. Baking sourdough artisan breads in wood-fired ovens using landrace grains,

3. Celebrating the culture, cuisine and arts from ancestral homelands of ancient grains,
