2025 Queer Food Festival serves up flavor, community, and pride
Salt Lake City’s most deliciously queer event of the year is back — and it’s spicier, bolder, and more fabulous than ever.
On a spring Friday evening this year, the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to raise a glass, grab a fork, and gather around the table for the 2025 Queer Food Festival, a one-of-a-kind celebration of community, cuisine, and connection. In collaboration with local LGBTQ+ and ally-owned restaurants, breweries, and spirit-makers, the festival will showcase the best bites and beverages that Queer Salt Lake has to offer — along with a hearty helping of entertainment.
“This isn’t just a food event — it’s a FEAST,” said Chamber CEO Liz Pitts. “It’s about nourishment in every sense of the word: delicious food, creative drinks, vibrant music, and above all, the joy of being together in queer community.”
A Taste of Queer Salt Lake
Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur, a foodie fanboy, or just here for the vibes, the Queer Food Festival promises something to savor. Expect bold flavors, inventive pairings, and dishes that reflect the diversity and creativity of Salt Lake’s LGBTQ+ culinary scene.
Alongside the edible offerings, guests can expect live performances, DJ sets, and the kind of energy that only happens when queer joy and local flavor collide.
Support Local, Celebrate Loud
The event isn’t just a party — it’s a platform for supporting LGBTQ+ and allied small businesses in Utah. Participating vendors, entertainers, and creators will get a chance to shine, connect with new audiences, and share their talents in a space that celebrates inclusion and authenticity.
And for those who want to take their support to the next level, the Chamber is still seeking sponsors for the event. Sponsorship tiers range from the exclusive presenting sponsor ($5,000) to supporting and in-kind sponsors ($250 and above), each offering opportunities for recognition, perks such as complimentary tickets, and shout-outs from the DJ booth.
“This festival is a reflection of the abundance in our community — not just in food, but in spirit,” Pitts added. “Every sponsor, every vendor, every guest becomes part of that shared table.”
