Festival Event Features

Inspiring speakers, vegan vendors, cooking demos, children’s area, farm sanctuary volunteers + other non-profits, and plant-based food.

It’s also a place for the vegan-curious to learn more about choosing a healthier, more compassionate lifestyle. Get your questions answered and enjoy the delicious creations from our plant-based food and drink vendors. For those familiar with former Portland area VegFests, this is a smaller scale version of these. The tone of this event is kindness and compassion, directed toward our fellow humans, other animals, and the planet.
