Its vision for 2024 includes a bigger venue, easy access from public transportation, and tons of vegan-friendly local businesses.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Taste food from local and regional food vendors like Black Leaf Vegan and Eat Surreal
  • Learn how to make your own plant-based food during the cooking demonstrations
  • Support small businesses that offer vegan and cruelty-free products and services
  • Connect with local nonprofits in the fields of health and wellness, animal advocacy, and environmental sustainability
  • Enjoy live performances, a DJ, and kids activities

General admission is free and open to everyone. Early Access ticketholders will be admitted one hour early, plus get a goodie bag with giveaways and coupons.
