I’m celiac – what about safety?
We take your health and safety very seriously, and are highly selective when it comes to exhibitors. We do allow exhibitors with shared facilities, but thoroughly vet them for cross-contamination protocols. In addition, booths are clearly marked with the following, so that you can make your own decisions.
-
- Dedicated GF
- Dedicated GF and certified gluten free
- Gluten-free products made in a shared facility, but thoroughly vetted for proper cross-contamination protocols. These are small businesses that use their own equipment, clean and sanitize thoroughly, and employ rigorous cross-contamination protocols. Items from these kitchens may still be required to include a disclaimer on their labels. We encourage you to chat with them and decide for yourself if you’d like to sample and/or buy.
- Gluten-containing foods are not permitted inside the venue on the day of the expo. Please no gluten-containing children’s snacks.
- Allergens & labels Though many of our exhibitors are allergen free, our events are not allergen free. Look for table tents at every booth, noting which allergens are present in any of the items. Labels are required for all pre-packaged items. For your safety, do not purchase or eat anything that may have slipped through unlabeled.
Our expos are 95% food and highly curated to ensure the best experience for YOU

About us and our expos
- We’re consumer expo pros. We’ve been doing gluten-free expos nonstop since 2016, and they’ve been growing in size and attendance ever since. We now draw 100+ exhibitors and 4,000-5,000 attendees per expo . (We even brought Rhode Island its first GF expo ever with our 2018 GF Holiday Fest)
- We’re expanding! We’re excited to be expanding into NY and PA, with more cities to come.
- Unique and interesting exhibitors are our specialty. We welcome national brands at our events, but we love artisans and startups, and ensure that our expos are accessible to all.
- Expertly curated and 95% food You won’t see dog food, candles, essential oils, vitamins, cheese, direct sell reps, chiropractors, remodelers, gutters, massage and other unrelated booths at our expos.
- Community support We’re all about community, so we offer free booths to as many celiac disease/gluten-free/food allergy nonprofits and services as possible.
- Stay for lunch! We always have GF prepared food trucks, caterers, and hot food options available.
- Comfortable seating to take a load off, eat lunch, or just chat and connect with other folks like you.
- We’re kid friendly! Our kids space is perfect for the littles (and bigs!) to let off some steam and for parents to take a breather. Face painting, too!
- FREE PARKING & strollers welcome!
