JANUARY 19 - 21, 2025 | LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

The SFA Winter Fancy Food Show

The first Show of the year, the first to unveil new trends and products, where consumer eating lifestyles come first.

First Up: The Industry's Annual Kickoff Party

More than a trade show, the Winter Fancy Food Show kickstarts the specialty food industry's annual cycle with three days of discovery, networking, education, and fun.

Be there as brilliant makers exhibit the specialty products consumers are craving—gluten-free, protein-centric, vegan, and more—and build connections with  specialty and lifestyle retailers from Whole Foods and Walmart to Delta and P.F. Chang's to independent and local grocers.

A celebratory event where communities are formed and strengthened, the Winter Show brings together tastemakers from retail, distribution, and foodservice to set the tone for the year ahead in specialty food.
