Boston Strongest and Food Fest are back for 2025!

Following the huge success of previous years, Boston Strongest and Food Fest will be returning to Boston Market Place on Sunday 13 July 2025.

Boston's Strongest competition will once again take place in the town centre, promising an exciting day of strength and endurance challenges with free spectating for all.

Contestants will compete for cash prizes and trophies, awarded to the top three in each category. To win the titles of the 6 categories, competitors will have to compete in a series of gruelling events, including deadlifting a car, pulling a lorry and lifting giant concrete balls (atlas stones) onto a platform. There will also be a world strict curl championship running alongside the event, with competitors from all over Europe.

The head referee for the competition will be World Strongman Games Athlete Craig Candler, with IFBB Pro Tyler Smith serving as the special guest referee.

Spectators and shoppers will not only be able to watch the event but also support the Food Fest as well. Various food stalls, traders and establishments will be situated within the Market Place, selling a wide variety of cuisines, snacks and sweet treats.

 A spokesperson from Boston Borough Council, said: “We are delighted that Mayhem Gym are again organising Boston’s Strongest 2025 to be held in the Market Place this year, alongside our second Food Fest, which will be offering an array of delectable dishes for everyone to enjoy.

“We are excited that this event will cater to all ages and draw a significant number of residents and visitors to the town.
