Gluten-Free Festival

Overview

Ah, gluten. Scourge of coeliacs, this humble wheat protein has been making life difficult for as long as we've been eating sliced bread. But fortunately for all the folks out there with gluten intolerances, VEND Marketplace in Virginia will be a gluten-free zone for two days.

Running from 8am–2pm on both Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19, this Gluten-Free Festival will feature a couple of dozen mobile food vendors setting up their stalls and rolling in their trucks to sling tasty treats without a single bit of wheat, rye or barley in sight.

SoCal Tacos,  The Dagwood Dog Guy, King of the Wings and Big J Woodfired Pizza are but a few of the eateries who'll make an appearance, alongside OMG Donuts, Roll It Ice Cream, Golden Churros and Mama Mac's Macarons — and others.

There'll also be a number of stalls selling a variety of gluten-free products to take home, so you can stock your pantry as well.

The dog-friendly event will let you take advantage of VEND's usual 130-plus small businesses, too, for a stint of shopping with your gluten-free eats.

Entry is free, but reserving a spot online is recommended.
