Lifestyle
Raleigh, NC January 24, 2024 On Sunday, March 24, 2024, the community will gather for a day of fun, food, and festivities to celebrate a cruelty-free lifestyle, a cleaner environment, and a healthier planet. Triangle Vegfest is back in Raleigh for the first time since 2016 and at Moore Square for the first time since 2015. The goal of the event is to educate the public about the benefits of adopting plant-based choices and to promote vegan-friendly businesses and organizations resources in the Triangle area and beyond. This event is produced by the group behind Vegfest Expos and Triangle Vegfest, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based out of Wake Forest, NC.
Festival-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy plant-based culinary delights, samples, and giveaways from vendors such as Gold Potato Sponsor Superieur Electrolytes, Souls Kitchen, and Govindas Catering, plus the best vegan cheesecake from AJs Cheesecakes, while listening to our DJ and our host MZ Jazzy, and the children play in our Family Fun Zone, which includes free face painting and life-sized games. Over 50 vendors will bring a variety of animal-friendly wellness and beauty products, apparel, health services, educational resources, and more. An up-to-date vendor live map can be found on the event Facebook page or on our website, trianglevegfest.com.
