About this Event

GFree Fest is a fully gluten free festival held annually in Providence, Rhode Island, showcasing gluten-free products and gluten-friendly restaurants with a full day of eating, drinking, and shopping on March 22nd and 23rd, 2025 at WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, RI.

Founded by a celiac and long-time festival planner, it is the perfect opportunity for gluten-free food lovers to explore new products, meet gluten-friendly businesses, and have a gluten-free cocktail, mocktail, or beer.

GFree Fest is brought to you by the events team at Ampersand Creative Co.. Be sure to check out other Ampersand events like, RI VegFest, Little City Thrifty, The Good Trade Makers Market, and our partner event, Bloom Flower and Home.



WHAT TO EXPECT:

We recommend reading the list of FAQs below and reviewing our website to learn all about GFree Fest. This event is a fun and educational fully gluten free indoor event featuring restaurant popups, local and national food and beverage brands, gluten-free/celiac makers, and more. Restaurants will have full meals for sale, and some may offer samples. Our bar will be fully stocked with gluten free beer and gluten free cocktails and mocktails.



DRINKING:

Bring your ID if you plan on having delicious gluten free cocktails and beer at our bar! Coffee and mocktails will be available, too. We recommend bringing your reusable water bottle, as the venue has several water bottle filling stations.



OMG, A BOOK SWAP!

Bring your gently used books (cookbooks, fiction, non-fiction, whatever you like!) to the event and swap them at our book swap table. At the end of the event, we will donate whatever isn't claimed. Please, no bibles, dictionaries, encyclopedias, or text books.



SHOPPING:

We recommend bringing your reusable tote bag! Most vendors will accept cash, cards, and cash app payments, but please be aware that there is no ATM on site.
