Featuring a host of inspiring speakers, informative cooking demos, delicious vegan food samples, and dozens of exhibitors, including Mercy For Animals, the 2011 D.C. VegFest dazzled crowds in the nation’s Capitol!
Co-hosted by the Vegetarian Society of D.C. and Compassion Over Killing the D.C. Vegfest brought thousands of vegans, vegetarians and veg-curious omnivores to Washington to celebrate the huge diversity of animal-friendly cuisine and the many benefits of a plant-based diet.
MFA’s table drew crowds of people looking to learn more about our groundbreaking investigations into factory farms and slaughterhouses and tips on how to transition to a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle.
