ABOUT RI VEGFEST

RI VegFest promotes a fun and compassionate plant-based vegan lifestyle here in Little Rhody. We love eating plants, and if given the right opportunity, we think everyone else will, too!

In February 2020 (after SIX years of planning and research!), we hosted our inaugural RI VegFest at WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, RI. We had a great community response, with over 85 vendors from across the US and Canada, and a sold-out crowd of 1,800 attendees! After a long but necessary hiatus, we returned with our outfood food and beer sampling event, RI Vegtoberfest, in fall of 2021. We now hold both events annually, and RI VegFest has grown into a two-day festival.

Applications for our February RI VegFest event open about eight months in advance, and RI Vegtoberfest applications open about seven months in advance.
