Proudly sponsored by Arnott's Gluten Free, the Gluten Free Food Festival is a vibrant celebration of all things gluten free. Whether you're living with Coeliac Disease, managing gluten intolerance, or simply exploring a gluten free lifestyle, this is your chance to discover an incredible range of products from trusted local and national brands, all under one roof.
More than just a food event, the festival is about connection, community, and support. Our mission is to create a welcoming space where people can share experiences, learn from one another, and build meaningful connections with others who understand the realities of gluten free living, including members of the Coeliac New Zealand community.
We believe that living gluten free should be enjoyable, delicious, and full of possibility. That's why every vendor at the festival is completely gluten free, with some proudly carrying the trusted crossed-grain accreditation from Coeliac New Zealand.
Browse everything from pantry staples and everyday essentials to decadent treats and specialty products you may never have discovered otherwise. You'll find breads, sauces, snacks, chocolates, baked goods, and much more. Plus, our gluten free food vendors and food trucks will be serving up delicious meals and treats throughout the day, so you can relax, explore, and enjoy the festival without worrying about what's on the menu.
NEW this year - grab an Allergywise Scavenger Hunt ticket and explore the festival in a new way! Follow clues and complete the hunt to go in the draw to win an amazing prize pack of Allergywise products worth $500. Fun for all ages and a great way to make sure you don't miss a thing!
