CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - If you’ve ever thought about eating less meat, or getting rid of them from your diet entirely, there’s a fair coming soon that might give you a push in that direction.
Charlotte VegFest 2023 begins Saturday, Sept. 30, and runs from 12 to 8 p.m.
Located at The Ford Building at Camp North End, admission to the family-friendly event will be complimentary. Attendees can expect more than 100 vegan food vendors, food trucks and businesses providing vegan-friendly products and services.
Last year, the festival attracted an estimated 6,000 vegan, plant-based and veg-curious patrons from across the state. There will also be a Vegan Food Court with hot food vendors.
The festival’s goal is to bring a strong focus on providing community resources to attendees. Organizers are supporting several other nonprofits and community organizations this year including Feeding Charlotte, WIC North Carolina, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control.
