Gluten-Free Events Calendar 2026/27
Gluten-free expos in Italy and the US, a Christmas market where every single stand is gluten-free, trade fairs, festivals, and the big mainstream events where eating gluten free takes real planning. Until now, finding any of this meant digging through coeliac society pages in five languages and hoping the dates were still current. So we built the calendar we always wanted: one page, every gluten

About this event
Now in its 24th year, Marangiane in Festa turns Piazza Paperi in Castrì di Lecce over to the star of the Salento summer, the aubergine, across five evenings of food, conviviality and live music (8pm–midnight, free entry). Why it’s on our calendar: a dedicated gluten-free stand, run in collaboration with the Associazione Italiana Celiachia (AIC), means coeliacs can join in too: think aubergine parmigiana, polpette and sagne ’ncannulate in gluten-free versions. Order at the gluten-free stand and check the preparation with the team on the night. Event details.

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.
