About this event

The Ascoli Piceno stop of Italy’s travelling gluten-free festival; the organiser lists the venue as TBA — check the official site before you go. The organisers’ own rule is the appealing part: tutto senza glutine — every food truck and every exhibitor certified, run in partnership with AIC (the Italian coeliac association). Expect certified food trucks, a market, talks and music; entry is free at every stop (ingresso libero). Official festival site.

Submit an event

Organising a gluten-free event, or spotted one we’re missing? The fastest way is our submit-an-event form — or send the name, dates, location and official link via our contact page or the community group. We check every entry against an official source before it goes on the list.

One last honest note: dates, venues and gluten-free arrangements change without notice. Confirm the details with the organiser before you book travel — and even at a fully gluten-free event, keep asking the usual questions about preparation and cross-contact.

Local groups & Stammtische — find your people

HTGF is global, but community happens locally — over a shared table, in your own city, at a monthly meetup where nobody asks “so what can you eat?”. The gatherings below are run by coeliac societies and independent local groups, not by us. We simply signpost them, and we checked every link against an official source on 13 June 2026.

Regular meetups with published dates

• Munich, Germany — Zöliakie Stammtisch München (DZG group Südbayern): monthly on a Wednesday evening at rotating gluten-free-friendly restaurants, dates published through December 2026 — plus a separate young-adults Stammtisch and a Tegernsee offshoot (monthly, 2nd Wednesday). Dates & details
• Nuremberg region, Germany — Samstag-Mittags-Treff, a Saturday-lunch Stammtisch by the Mittelfranken group. Dates
• Vienna, Austria — Stammtisch Wien by ARGE Zöliakie, roughly monthly at rotating venues; ARGE also runs contact-group meetups in Carinthia, Tyrol, Lower Austria and family meetups in Graz and Salzburg. ARGE events calendar
• Central London, UK — Coeliac UK Local Meet Up at a 100% gluten-free café, usually the last Friday of the month. No booking — just turn up. Meet-up page
• New York City, USA 🏟️ — the NYC Celiac Disease Meetup, the largest gluten-free Meetup group in the world (2,500+ members) with regular restaurant dinners and walking tours. With the World Cup Final in NY/NJ on 19 July, this is the best “find your people while you’re in town” address on this page. Meetup group

Italy — an honest note: most structured local meetups in Italy run through channels we don’t list on HTGF. Independent communities where members arrange their own meetups exist — for example I Celiaci di Milano — and the new independent association Assoceliaci is one to watch. If you run an independent gluten-free meetup in Milan, Rome or Turin, tell us — we’d love to list you.

Society events are usually for members, though newcomers are normally welcome to get in touch first. Restaurants named in meetup listings are chosen by the groups, not safety-vetted by HTGF. And as always: dates and venues change — check the group’s own page before you go.
