Whether you’re vegan-curious or have already embraced plant-based life, this annual free gathering is a great place to learn about the benefits of vegging out. Attractions include a bilingual cooking demo with Gabby Martinez (Casa de Luz East); an Austin vegan business panel with the owners of Luv Fats, Community Vegan, and Counter Culture (all reopening in 2026!); a “fireside chat” with A. Breeze Harper and Omawale Adewale of Sistah Vegan and Brotha Vegan fame; plus vegan food vendors and artisans, animal rescue groups, farming advocates, live performances, and lots more to recommend powering up with plants. – Kimberley Jones
