Chicagoland GlutenFree Fall Fest

On a perfect, sunny October day, thousands gathered in Long Grove for the inaugural Chicagoland GlutenFree Fest!

We teamed up with the incredible teams at Holcomb Hollow and Impossibly GlutenFree to create a vibrant and welcoming space for the gluten-free community to connect over great food, live music, and awesome company.

With over 40 local vendors, attendees indulged in everything from artisan sourdough and warm cinnamon rolls to crisp sauerkraut, chicken-crust pizza, and savory empanadas. In addition to the incredible eats, the day was packed with local artisans, valuable gluten-free resources, an exciting bake-off, raffle prizes, and live entertainment.

To everyone who came out, including those who faced long wait times or were unable to enter due to the overwhelming turnout, we deeply appreciate your patience and support. The incredible response showed us just how special and needed this community is, and we are already looking ahead to planning even bigger and better events like this in the future!

A huge thank you to our co-hosts, vendors, sponsors, and every single person who made this inaugural event such a resounding success.

A special shoutout to Lindsay from Bella Jackson Originals for capturing the magic of the day. Explore the gallery below to relive the moments!
