The very first Montreal Vegan Food Festival
will take place over two days this September! The festival will be held at UQAM, September 26-27, 2014.
According to the event website:
International lecturers, cooking demos continuously
looping throughout the day, informative stands and organizations, roundtable
discussions, ethical fashion stores, and, of course … delicious tastings
await you! The Montreal Vegan Festival will provide an unparalleled opportunity
to discover food and lifestyle in a different light, while addressing the
health, ethical, and environmental aspects of veganism. Whether you’re a vegan,
vegetarian, foodie, eco-enthusiast or simply curious, you’re sure to find the
Montreal Vegan Festival innovative, educational, and inspiring.
Access to the site, exhibits, culinary demos, and
conferences on Saturday, September 27, will be entirely free! Tickets for the opening
conference on Friday, September 26, will be on sale for $10.
The festival has already confirmed some interesting and
educational speakers, including Dr. Michael Greger from NutritionFacts.org, and Derek and
