Foodies rejoice! Boston’s first-of-its-kind Big Queer Food Fest is right around the corner, and as an official non-profit partner, we have all the details you need to know.

This weeklong celebration of the LGBTQIA+ and culinary communities comes to Boston and runs from April 28th – May 4th, hosting events across the city.


Co-presented by Meet Boston, Big Queer Food Fest is bringing together an all-star lineup of LGBTQIA+ chefs, makers, and creatives from around the country—including Melissa King, Rick Martinez, Tiffani Faison, Jon Kung, Andy Baraghani, Karen Akunowicz, and Kareem Queeman—for a week of unforgettable events rooted in joy, identity, and great food.

From multi-chef dinners and panel conversations to dance parties, meet-ups, and more, BQFF is about more than what’s on the plate—it’s about celebrating who’s at the table.

Grand Tasting tickets for May 3rd and 4th are on sale now, with additional tickets for the full week of events coming soon at bigqueerfoodfest.com.
