Have you been wondering where your belt is? Or maybe your favourite jacket?! We have lots left in the Headfest lost and found and maybe it's yours?

As to the person who lost your belt.....we don't want to know how you lost it!

During the week of Headfest 2026, our judges headed out for the second evening of the Headfest Garden Competition, enjoying another fantastic selection of gardens and outdoor spaces across the community.

From stunning floral displays and colourful borders to peaceful garden retreats and beautifully maintained spaces, there was no shortage of inspiration along the way. It was also wonderful to meet so many enthusiastic gardeners whose dedication and creativity are reflected in every corner of their gardens. 🌿🌸

A special thank you to our judges, Joan Dooley (Herbalist & Wellness Practitioner) and Clive Greally (Chair of Headford Tidy Towns), for their time, knowledge and careful consideration throughout the competition.

We would also like to thank our sponsor, McGaugh's Gardening Complex, whose support helps make this much-loved Headfest event possible each year. 🌼

The quality of entries was outstanding, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who opened their gates and shared their beautiful gardens with us.

A big thank you to a local Headford man who shared these lovely photos from Sunday night at Headfest 2026 📸

He captured some wonderful moments from the evening and wanted to make sure the photos found their way back to the fantastic people featured in them.

We have so many talented people in so many pockets of our community, and it's always great to see people generously sharing their time, creativity and talents with others.

Headfest:

What a weekend. What a community. What a festival.

From everyone involved in Headfest, we just want to say the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to every single person who came out, showed up, bought a ticket, shared a post, liked a photo, volunteered, sponsored, donated, performed, helped behind the scenes, brought the kids, called in for a coffee, wandered through the craft fair, supported an event, or simply added to the atmosphere.

Headfest is not just a festival. It is community. It is people. It is familiar faces, new faces, local pride, music, laughter, kindness, generosity and support all coming together in one incredible weekend.

The support this year has honestly meant so much to us all. When you see crowds turning up, families enjoying themselves, volunteers giving their time, sponsors backing us, and the whole community getting behind it, it reminds us exactly why we do this.

Festivals like Headfest do not happen by accident. They happen because people care. They happen because a community believes in keeping something special alive.

So to everyone who played even the smallest part, please know this: we truly appreciate you. Your support keeps Headfest going, growing and giving back.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

A huge bualadh bos for you all. 👏💛
