The festival was formed in 2015 as a result of public consultation within the town. The first festival was held in 2016. It is organised by the Caernarfon Food Festival Group which is made up of local volunteers who hold regular meetings to plan each festival. The festival has a number of support groups, including a content group, sponsorship group, technical group, communication group and volunteer group. These groups feed into the main group's monthly meetings. The festival logo was inspired by contributions from pupils at [[Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen]] and designed by Iestyn Lloyd of Cwmni Da.<ref name="Gwyl Fwyd Caernarfon"/><ref name="My Llandudno">{{Cite web|url=https://www.myllandudno.co.uk/event/caernarfon-food-festival/|title=CAERNARFON FOOD FESTIVAL}}</ref> The festival has been supported by [[Welsh Government]] through the Food Festival Grant Scheme and was highly commended by Food Awards Wales in 2019.<ref name="Gwyl Fwyd Caernarfon">{{Cite web|url=https://swshi.co.uk/events/2019/5/11/gwyl-fwyd-caernarfon-food-festival-2019|title=Gwyl Fwyd Caernarfon Food Festival 2019|website=Swshi}}</ref> Car parking is provided at the Slate Quay (Cei Llechi) and at other car parks around the town while the [[Welsh Highland Railway]] provides transport from [[Porthmadog]].<ref name="Daily Post"/> Cycle access is by the cycle tracks along the disused railway lines which include Lôn Las Eifion, which runs from Porthmadog, by-passing [[Penygroes, Gwynedd|Penygroes]] and on to Caernarfon, Lôn Las Menai from [[Y Felinheli]] to Caernarfon and Lôn Las Peris from [[Llanberis]] to Caernarfon.<ref name="Gwyl Fwyd Caernarfon"/>
