2013 Texas VegFest

In about 3 months is the annual Texas VegFest! I am very excited about this event as I haven't been able to make it in the past few years due to school. I'm so excited in fact that I will be volunteering for the event and you should too!

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore vegetarian and vegan diets and lifestyles, whether you're a seasoned veteran veg*n (like me) or a relative newcomer (like my boyfriend.) 

Oh and have I mentioned the best part? 

IT'S FREE!!! 

There's a suggested donation of $5 but that's really cheap so it's all good.

The following exciting things will be included:

• Live Music & Dynamic Speakers

• Cooking Demonstrations

• Kids’ Activities

• Good Food & Cold Beer!

• Free Samples & Prizes

• Local & National Vendors

Yes, that's right there WILL BE alcohol there so there's really no excuse for not going. They even let you take two sealed water bottles in, providing they are not glass. 

Last year's event included speakers such as Vegan Chef (my idol) Isa Chandra Moskowitz of Post Punk Kitchen and Robert Cheeke of Vegan Body Building! I can't wait to see who the speakers for this year will be!

The festival will be held in Austin, Texas- ranked #8 in North America for most vegetarian-friendly cities. Also, Austin is the absolute best city in Texas (and possibly the world) so if you haven't visited before, this is a wonderful opportunity!

I'll keep y'all updated on the festival so get excited for the 2013 Texas VegFest!

XOXO,
