Taking place at 900 E Scott St. on Saturday, Nov. 5, Tampa Bay Vegfest features plant-based cooking demonstrations, a spread of vegan eats, local eco-friendly vendors and an interactive kids zone. This is the first rendition of this plant-based festival since 2019.
This festival is about environmental, nutritional and ethical education just as much as it is about vegan eats. Several Tampa Bay-based organizations will be spreading their plant-based beliefs, as vegan cooking demonstrations will take place throughout the event.
"We are two nonprofit entities that believe in ethical veganism and making a difference in the lives of humans, the animals, and saving the planet," the Tampa Bay Vegfest website reads.
Saturday's event is free to attend, but registering for a free tickets via aftontickets.com is strongly encouraged, as it helps organizers get a better idea of what attendance will be. VIP packages are also available for $25 each and come with a goody bag full of eco-friendly goods, vegan snacks and entry into the festival's raffle. A few of the dozens of Tampa Bay-based vendors dishing out food and drinks at Saturday's festival include House of Vegano, Brazilian Fun Foods, Nah Dogs, Beech Kombucha, Cafe Hey, Southern Fried Vegan, Curious Cat Bakery and Oopsy Daisy Sweets—as the full list of participating businesses can be browsed at tampabayvegfest.com.
