ABOUT GFREE FEST

GFree Fest is Rhode Island’s first fully gluten-free festival. The event was founded by BJ Mansuetti of Ampersand Creative Co. after he was diagnosed with celiac disease.

It’s not always easy to find a gluten-free safe space for food lovers, and GFree Fest is excited to showcase some of the best gluten free products and gluten-friendly restaurants with a day of eating, drinking, and shopping in Providence, RI.
