Worcester VegFest Returns!
Posted by Manda Rose.
The snow has been piling up in our city this winter but VegWorcester is already thinking Spring, working behind the scenes to make plans for the 2nd annual Vegfest! Are you ready for the big news? The 2011 Worcester Vegfest will be returning to Worcester State University on Sunday, April 17th from 12pm-5pm!
New to the veg community in our city? Lets re-cap. The Worcester VegFest is a free festival that brings the local community together to celebrate vegetarianism– an animal-friendly, environmentally sustainable, and healthy lifestyle. Our event features socially responsible businesses, inspiring national and local speakers, musicians, and plenty of complimentary samples of vegan food and products. The event will have also have educational exhibits, family-friendly activities, fund raising raffles and free parking.
Worcester’s newest and biggest vegetarian event was a huge success last year with 2,000+ attendees! We’ve been paying special attention to your feedback and we’re hoping to make this one even better than the last! New this year: In addition to free food samples, we’re planning on having local restaurants selling veg-friendly meals so you can choose to buy a larger plate of tasty food as well!
Want to get involved? We are still looking for volunteers who want to attend our weekly Tuesday VegFest meetings and help with recruiting speakers and vendors, contacting local businesses, arranging the music, and more. We will also be holding separate volunteer meetings starting in February for those that want to put together posters/banners, leaflets and other important promotional tasks. We’ll be updating you soon with details when those meet-ups begin!
