The Press Release:
After an extensive evaluation, the Specialty Food Association (SFA) is pleased to announce that our Summer Fancy Food Show will move to September 27-29, 2021 and will still be held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
After surveying buyers and consulting with SFA members, New York City and State officials, the Javits Center, and health experts to gauge the safety and viability of moving forward with a live event, we have determined that a modified, late third-quarter Fancy Food Show has the best chance of success in a safe environment.
Given pandemic restrictions in place since March 2020, this will be the sole Fancy Food Show of the year. For this year only, we will modify the event name – Fancy Food Show 2021. We currently anticipate a return to our Winter and Summer Show schedule for 2022.
We’ll have more details soon for exhibiting and registering to attend the show. Until then, please mark your calendars for the new dates, Monday through Wednesday, September 27 – 29.
As always, we are available to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your continuing support during these challenging times; together we will continue to shape the future of food.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: While I realize this might be disappointing news to some you cannot argue that it doesn’t make complete sense. Let’s face it, while a vaccine has been announced it is very slowly making the rounds and only being given out to certain groups based on function and region. By my calculation, I will not be able to receive this until later in the year and hopefully by the time that this trade show rolls around. I’ve been to the Summer Fancy Food Show 3x now and just love the finds and sharing them with you on the website and the social networks. Let’s stay tuned for more information on this as it becomes available and if you’d like to add your two cents to the mix you can do so in the comments section down below. See you again soon and please by all means possible stay safe out there. Thanks for reading.
