Veggie Fest Chicago is where two days of eating & drinking needn’t be gluttonous or glutinous, where raw food is savoury, whole-wheat and gluten-free mean treats, and food demo chefs conjure mouth-watering vegetarian dishes that are irresistible – even to kids. Food court menus include Caribbean delicacies and scrumptious India treats like rice & black lentil crepes called dosas (ideal for stuffing or dipping in sauce) and drink bars serve fresh juices and whip up fresh & frothy summer smoothies. This veggie festival is tantalizing to palates, even non-vegetarian ones.

Secret Feature

The secret isn’t in the program on well-being, diet, diseases prevention, going organic, or even in the talks about brain plasticity, or the workshops to raise consciousness through meditation, or at the spiritual awareness symposiums. Veggiefest’s secret feature is you and me. The very people that gather produce the best feature: conversations with like-minded individuals about what it means to be a vegetarian.

Vegan-Music + Vegi-Parade

Vegetarianism goes beyond eating & drinking fruits & veggies which is why it’s celebrated as a way of life by featuring veg-loving musicians, such as renowned vegan rap-hip-hop-alt-metal star Zack de la Rocha, as performers on festival stages. And, there’s a Vegi-Parade where kids can dress up as vegetables or fruit to flaunt their freshness throughout the open-air Veggie Fest grounds in Chicago.
