We are a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers. The first VegFest took place at the University of Notre Dame in March 2018. In 2019 and, after Covid, in 2022, we held it at Century Center, in South Bend. Thousands of visitors came! Our next event is scheduled for April 14, 2024, at the Gillespie Center in South Bend. Come to our free event and enjoy delicious food from local businesses. Hear dynamic speakers on health, ethical, and environmental topics. Get inspired to cook plant-based foods by attending our chef cooking demonstrations. Enjoy the stimulating and fun Kids’ Corner and hear an inspiring rapper! For The Planet, The Animals, Our Health. Our goal is to provide the communities of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan with an opportunity to explore many exciting flavors and options in the rapidly expanding world of plant-based eating. We bring together new vegan products and services along with dynamic speakers to promote a plant-powered lifestyle for health, compassion and environmental conservation. We encourage everyone to make healthy food choices and to support our local vegan-friendly businesses and organizations. Read more...
