Upcoming Gluten-Free Events
Written By: Kelsey Chadwick MS, RDN, LDN
Gluten-free living doesn’t have to be boring. Sometimes it is and that’s okay, but there’s a gluten-free and celiac community out there waiting for you! From support groups to gluten-free restaurant meet ups, there are lot’s of things to get involved in locally and all over the world.
There are lots of fun gluten-free events all around the world. I’ve compiled a list of upcoming events in the United States and Canada. These events are a great way to try new products and meet other gluten-free people.
Back in October 2024, I attended the Wicked Gluten-Free Boston South Shore Expo. There were hundreds of vendors, delicious gluten-free samples and products to buy. One of my favorite things I tried there were NADAS empanadas. They had such unique flavors and I wish there was a location in Boston!
Another event I attended was Celiac Awareness Night at Fenway Park last May. It was awesome to see such a huge organization promote celiac awareness. This year a lot more teams are hosting Celiac Awareness Nights. Check out the list of teams below.
