Mistress Ginger gives at cooking demo at the 2015 Twin Cities Veg Fest

I’m really excited to share with you the roster of speakers and chefs who will be presenting at the upcoming Twin Cities Veg Fest. These passionate individuals advocate for animals in a variety of ways everyday of their lives, and they’ll be at the festival to inspire you to make kind choices in your own lives.

One of my favorite features of hosting the festival is getting to bring in people from outside the Twin Cities region. Their presence shows how our movement is far-reaching, and it enriches our own community to include those voices. For this year, those out-of-town guests include Mexican TV celebrity Marco Antonio Regil, solo performance artist Pamela Ziemann, undercover investigator Mike Wolf, and acclaimed vegan chef Tess Challis.

Also, for the first time ever at the festival, The Herbivorous Butcher gives a cooking demo (with their famous meat-free meats!) and Mistress Ginger gives a speaker presentation (with her song and dance!).

We also have a variety of other speakers and chefs who are treasured members of our community. They’ll be sharing their wisdom on subjects ranging from vegan cuisine to philosophy to nutrition.

Check out the schedule of speakers and cooking demos below, and don’t miss Twin Cities Veg Fest 2016. You are sure to be inspired!

For the animals,
