Next weekend, one of St. Pete’s thriving vegan restaurants, Love Food Central celebrates its fourth anniversary with a full-on bash. From 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, the spot—located at 2057 Central Ave. in St. Pete— hosts local eco-conscious and vegan vendors serving up customer-favorite food specials and creating a spread that lets locals dig in on a vegan sundae bar. 

This is a family-friendly event, so snatch up the kids to get their faces painted while you fill up on vegan and gluten-free comfort food. You can even commemorate the moment with an on-site photo booth. 

Wouldn’t be a celebration without prizes, and Love Food Central is throwing a silent auction stocked with gifts and services from local businesses. All proceeds from the raffle benefit Shelter Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit farm animal rescue and sanctuary providing permanent homes for sick, neglected, and unwanted farm animals.
