A brief list of vegan & plant-based events around the world
The idea for this blog came from a request for a list of global vegan events. This is NOT a comprehensive list and I cannot guarantee that each event is completely vegan (many events are plant-focused but not necessarily vegan) but I’ve done my best to curate a calendar of events in major cities. This list does not include virtual events. Please contact me if you’d like your event added to this list.
