Features: The Boston
Vegetarian Food Festival is two full days of fun, good
food, and learning! It brings together exhibitors
of vegetarian natural foods from across the country
and locally, offering free food sampling and "show
special" discounts. It provides a welcoming environment
in which to explore a wide variety of delicious,
healthy, and readily available vegetarian foods that
are good for people and friendly to animals and
the environment. The Festival offers the opportunity
to talk to food producers, see and taste the latest
vegetarian products being introduced to the marketplace,
and shop at discounted prices. Attendees can learn
from speakers who are top national experts on health
and nutrition, and presenters who inspire compassion
for animals and respect for the environment.
Award winning chefs and cookbook authors teach their
recipes and offer free samples of the dishes they demonstrate.
Educational exhibits on protecting animals
and the environment, and a children's activity center
round out the day. The longest running event of
its kind in the country, the Festival is a resource
for vegetarians and vegans, and for anyone wanting
to include a greater variety of healthy and delicious
plant-based foods in their diets. It also interests
those wanting to live in greater harmony with animals
and the environment. Our past Festivals have each
attracted thousands of attendees who come from all
over the Northeast and beyond. For more visit bostonveg.org/foodfest/
