What it is

The Arnott's Gluten Free Food Festival brings together local and national gluten-free brands under one roof at Due Drop Events Centre, with every vendor on site carrying gluten-free products — from pantry staples and breads to chocolates, sauces, and specialty baked goods. Food trucks serve meals throughout the day in a courtyard with live acoustic music, so families can graze and explore without having to check a single label.

Alongside the shopping, there are free expert seminars and cooking demonstrations, a complimentary Kids' Zone, and face painting for younger visitors. New this year, the Allergywise Scavenger Hunt invites festival-goers to follow clues across the event for a chance to win a prize pack of Allergywise products.

A Saturday morning Exclusive Preview Session runs from 9am to 10am, offering a quieter shopping experience, VIP lounge access, exclusive exhibitor deals, and a complimentary Arnott's gluten-free product before the main festival opens. Preview session ticket holders can stay on for the full day.
