expo tips
- In an effort to manage crowds, we sell timed admissions. Early admission times always sell out first, so we recommend purchasing tickets ASAP.
- Arrive at your assigned admission time or later. The scan code on your ticket is only valid for the ticket time you purchase or later. Our ticket scanning devices will reject any tickets before the correct admission time.
- Purchase your tickets online to save! Tickets purchased at the door will be $25/adult $7/child all day. If we’re at capacity, there might be a wait to enter.
- Expo tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Watch for scammers! Only tickets purchased directly from our website will be accepted. Ignore any ticket selling posts on social media.
- Ticket Giveaways Many of our exhibitors and influencers are running legit expo ticket giveaways. Keep an eye out for them on Instagram!
- We have only one Instagram account for Wicked Gluten Free, and are not running any ticket giveaways from that account. Fake Instagram accounts impersonating ours will pop up as the event nears, doing scam ticket giveaways. If you suspect a scam account, message us about it.
- Pack a cooler if you want to stock up on refrigerated items!
- We’ll be handing out wristbands at the entrance for re-entry, so you can run items out to your car and/or visit the food trucks.
- Nice, wide aisles for plenty of elbow room (wink)

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 4,000 attendees per expo from New England, New York, and beyond. (We even brought Rhode Island its first GF expo ever with our 2018 GF Holiday Fest)
- We’re expanding! We just rebranded from Gluten-Free New England to Wicked Gluten Free, and are excited to bring expos to folks both inside and outside of New England in 2024!
- 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.
- We’re 95% food. You won’t see candles, tens machines, supplements, vitamins, chiropractors, crystals, gutters, direct-sell reps, massage and other unrelated booths at our expos. (After repeated requests, we will include a limited number of GF skincare brands at the next expo for a test run!)
- 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 booths, 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.
- FREE PARKING & strollers welcome!
