In case you haven’t heard, we’ve just launched our Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for Twin Cities Veg Fest. Exciting!
Wondering why you should make a contribution to support our annual festival? Here are five good reasons:
- Twin Cities Veg Fest is free to attend. You heard me right. Thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, and generous donors like you, we’ve been able to keep it free for thousands of people to attend since we started the yearly event in 2012.
- Twin Cities Veg Fest is an amazing outreach opportunity. We always make a point to welcome everyone, whether they are vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore. In fact, we estimate that about a third of the thousands who attend are not vegetarian. In one day, we’re showing all of those people how fun (and delicious!) compassionate living can be.
- Twin Cities Veg Fest brings the compassionate community together. For those who are already on board with our mission, the festival offers an empowering sense of community. Our values are celebrated, and we have the opportunity to make connections with others who are also living those values.
- Twin Cities Veg Fest is the only festival in the Twin Cities that features ONLY plant-based cuisine. True story! We have the only all-vegan festival in the Twin Cities. Yep, we’re special, and don’t we know it!
- Twin Cities Veg Fest is just the beginning. This movement for plant-based eating and compassionate living is thriving, expanding, and becoming more and more mainstream. Our festival is not only a sign of this upward momentum, but it’s also a celebration of the progress we’ve made and a way for us to keep growing.

Is all of this talk about Twin Cities Veg Fest getting you excited about exploring vegan food? We have just the thing for you. Join us on Friday for our first-ever Eat Street Crawl. We’ll go down Nicollet Avenue (aka Eat Street) and sample the vegan eats along the way. As we galavant down the street, we’ll visit a bunch of veg-friendly businesses and share, photograph, and post online about the plant-based eats that we find. Let’s generate some buzz and #CelebrateCompassion. If you’d like to attend, RSVP on the Facebook event page or email Brita Bengston at [email protected].
For the Animals,
