In honor of Celiac Awareness Month, Toronto will host an event called 'Gluten-Free Garage.' In recent years, a growing number of consumers have adopted a gluten-free lifestyle. This festival caters to gluten-free foodies with innovative products from vendors across the city.
Gluten-Free Garage will be held on Sunday, May 1st, at the Artscape Wychwood Barns. The event is similar to a regular farmer's market in that local vendors will showcase homemade food, drinks and lifestyle products. The twist is that every item at the festival is completely gluten-free. In addition to sampling and purchasing some of the delicious food on display, attendees will also be able to find out more about celiac disease, gluten-intolerance and tips for following a gluten-free diet.
Not only is the event a valuable resource for celiac foodies, but it also provides a unique opportunity for others to learn more about the gluten-free lifestyle.
