Mad Gluten-Free Fest

media release: Get ready, Wisconsin! Families, foodies, and fun-seekers are invited to the Mad Gluten-Free Fest, a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of delicious, gluten-free cuisine featuring local food vendors from across the state.

This event isn’t just a festival—it’s a grassroots movement to make Madison the #1 Gluten-Free Destination in the U.S! We’re bringing together passionate businesses, dedicated consumers, and a thriving gluten-free community to celebrate, support, and connect.

Whether you live gluten-free by necessity or by choice—or just want to try something new—this festival has something for everyone. Attendees can enjoy a wide variety of tasty, safe, and creative gluten-free dishes from beloved local vendors, all in one place.

But it's more than just great food! The Gluten-Free Festival is packed with activities to make it a day of wholesome fun for the whole family:

● Kids’ Activity Zone with face painting, temporary tattoos, and crafts!

● Educational Booths offering expert insights on gluten intolerance, celiac disease, nutrition, and healthy living

● Food Trucks and ready-to-eat food options

● Local Artisan Bakers featuring handmade gluten-free products to take home

Returning this year: VIP Tickets!

For an upgraded experience, VIP ticket holders will enjoy early access to the festival one hour before it opens to the public - and receive a Mad GF Fest tote bag for shopping. Be the first to explore vendor offerings, grab your favorite eats without the lines, and get a jumpstart on the fun. VIP tickets are limited, so secure yours early!

“We want to make keeping a gluten free diet a fun, celebratory experience instead of always feeling like a restriction,” said Melissa Bennett, event organizer. “It’s about building community, supporting local businesses, and enjoying fun, flavorful food.”

General admission is free, with VIP tickets available for $20 per person. VIP tickets include early entry one hour before the gates open to the public, and a Mad Gluten Free tote bag full of coupons and gluten free swag, perfect for holding all the treats you find!

All are welcome to attend! 100% of proceeds go toward future gluten free festivals and building community among gluten free vendors.
