Congratulations to Ridgeway Wagyu on their Gold Medal at the World Steak Challenge. We are very fortunate to have them as our Wagyu Burger supplier at the festival and delighted to see a local Donard company making waves on the global stage. 🏅👏👏👏

We are incredibly proud to announce that our Ridgeway Wagyu Rib Eye has won GOLD at the World Steak Challenge in Amsterdam.

This is a huge achievement for Ridgeway Wagyu and a proud moment for us all. Taking home Gold on the world stage is a true testament to the exceptional quality, flavour and craftsmanship behind our Wagyu beef.

Apart from one or two bands our line-up is almost complete for 2027. This is where sponsorship is essential to make sure we have the best bluegrass talent around, keep tickets affordable, and make the festival a resounding success!

Name one band from this years lineup you'd like us to bring back in 2027. If it's possible we'll do it.
