The Specialty Food Association’s 68th Summer Fancy Food Show has reached full capacity for exhibitor booth space, surpassing the previous year’s total square footage at the Javits Center. The event will cover more than 330,000 square feet, equivalent to nearly six football fields, and will showcase thousands of artisan products from over 2,300 domestic and international speciality food and beverage manufacturers. The show, running from June 23-25, will also feature a variety of networking and educational events, including a keynote address from Whole Foods Market CEO Jason Buechel on Monday, June 24.

Specialty foods are big business, with $207 billion in 2023 sales and projected growth to $219 billion this year,” said SFA President Bill Lynch. The Summer Fancy Food Show is where buyers, distributors, investors, and more can see and sample the products behind that growth: thousands of in-demand, highly profitable items across dozens of categories. Everyone at the Specialty Food Association is thrilled and grateful that we get to showcase wall-to-wall culinary creativity and innovation yet again in 2024. We’re so excited to welcome the industry back to New York City this month.
