The Gluten Free Food Festival is excited to be back for our third year running in Auckland!Dates and times:
Saturday 18th October, 5pm - 8pm
Sunday 19th October, 10am - 4.30pm
Proudly sponsored by Arnott's Gluten Free, this is a vibrant event created for anyone living gluten-free — or simply exploring what it’s all about. Whether you’re managing coeliac disease, gluten intolerance, or following a gluten free lifestyle for health or personal reasons, this is your opportunity to discover the very best gluten free products from beloved local and national brands — all in one place.
But this festival isn’t just about the food. It’s about building connections and celebrating a supportive community. Our mission is to create a welcoming, inclusive space where people can come together, share their journeys, and connect with others who understand the gluten free experience — including members of the Coeliac New Zealand community.
At the heart of the Gluten Free Food Festival is the belief that gluten free living should be exciting, delicious, and fulfilling. Every vendor on site is 100% gluten-free, with some carrying the trusted Coeliac New Zealand crossed-grain logo accreditation. You’ll find everything from everyday essentials like bread and condiments to sweet indulgences like chocolate and waffles. And yes — we’ve got gluten free food trucks, so you can skip packing lunch and treat yourself worry-free!
