Communities in Bloom
BALLINCOLLIG Representing Ireland: Communities in Bloom International Challenge 2026
The Communities in Bloom International Challenge is a Canadian-based worldwide competition that celebrates whole communities working together to create vibrant, welcoming and sustainable places to live. It brings together towns that have excelled in national programmes such as Ireland’s Tidy Towns, recognising the efforts of residents, businesses, schools, community groups and local authorities. The challenge is a chance to showcase local achievements, share ideas, and learn from inspiring communities around the world. The community of Ballincollig are extremely proud to represent Ireland in this years challenge.
