KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE

The health and safety of our festival community is our priority. All local and state mandated COVID-19 protocols will be adhered to. Per the latest health and safety mandates from the State of New York and New York City made on March 7, 2022, NYC has discontinued the Key to NYC vaccination requirement. Masks are strongly suggested but not mandatory at the event. To additionally ensure the safety of our participants, we are implementing additional cleaning measures at the venue, have changed the layout to give vendors and patrons more space to interact, limited the number of vendors, and will operate well under venue capacity at all times. These COVID-19 protocols are subject to change at any moment due to state and city regulations.

A haven for foodies with a plant-based bent, the festival is a place where like-minded folks can recognize and celebrate vegetarian and vegan culinary innovations.

Big thanks for having us part of vegfest. You deserve a round of applause. You ... make this look easy, with the finesse you pull off this event with.

Thanks again for having us out this past weekend! It was a great event and we love sharing our special brand of soul-food with new people. We definitely want to come back next year!

I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that [the organizers] did an amazing job. This was our first time being involved and I was really impressed. I thought the show was well done, and all the guests I talked to had an amazing time. I was so happy to be a part of this event, and I look forward to next year’s!

Events like these make me even more happy than usual to be a vegan. It’s so great to be surrounded by so many like-minded people, and also eat until I nearly fall over.
