We’ve had such amazing feedback from everyone, I’m expecting it to be a sell-out event. We look forward to welcoming everyone, not just vegans, to the event. Our goal is to continue to bring vegans and nonvegans together, to support local vegan business, and to show just how easy it is to be vegan.”

The festival will showcase a plethora of stalls, each presenting the best aspects of vegan living and providing fantastic gift ideas.
