A gluten-free festival with 85 vendors is happening in Toronto

If you’re gluten-free, you know how great it is to have a wide variety of food options that actually fit your dietary restrictions.

Well, if you’ve been on the hunt for more options without gluten, you’re in luck: a gluten-free festival with 85 vendors is coming up soon in Toronto.

Gluten Free Garage has been happening for over a decade now, and last year for their 10th festival they welcomed thousands of guests. That doesn’t mean they’re slowing down any time soon, though: this year they have more vendors than ever. Not only can you purchase products at the festival, there will also be lots of samples and coupons available.

This year’s vendors are a mix of huge well-known brands and smaller local companies, some of which started up only recently. Just some of the dozens of vendors include Bold Quality Lemonaide, Brodo House, Goldy’s, Hugs & Sarcasm, Joey Nordic Seed Crisps, LaCroix, Raincoast Crisps, Made Good, Mad Mexican, Miski Brewing, Neal Brothers, Nickel 9 Distillery, O’Doughs, Tapi Go and Wilda.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door (though they may sell out) and are timed-entry for the indoor component of the festival with three slots: 10 a.m. to noon, noon to 2 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. All ticket holders have access to the outdoor area all day long.

Gluten Free Garage was originally inspired by the founder’s daughter being diagnosed with celiac disease at age three, sending the founder on a mission to find all different kinds of delicious gluten-free foods so her daughter’s eating would always be as fun and non-restrictive as possible. Not only can you find, try and buy lots of great gluten-free products at the festival, there’s also information available on how to live life without gluten.

Gluten Free Garage is happening at Wychwood Barns on May 26.
