Attendees can meet local chefs who specialize in vegan cuisine. 

From 4-8:30 p.m., there will also be live cooking demos, along with vendors on-site with vegan-friendly products like textiles, organic produce and art pieces. 

A meditation session will also take place, so wear something stretchy to get the full Zen experience.
