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 Wisconsin 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 crafts, temporary tattoos, and more!

● 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

New this year: VIP Tickets!

For an upgraded experience, VIP ticket holders will enjoy early access to the festival - 30 minutes before it opens to the public, and a canvas 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 $30 per person. VIP tickets include early entry, half an hour before the gates open for the general public, and a Mad GF Fest canvas tote bag for holding all the treats you find!
