What is Michiana VegFest?
VegFests are community festivals that celebrate plant-based, healthy, ethical and
sustainable living. Our VegFest welcomes everyone, from visitors to local businesses,
and promotes plant-based resources that can be found right here in Michiana.
Michiana VegFest began its journey several years ago. A community event organized in
March 2016 by the Beacon Health System and titled "Taste of Health" attracted 130
participants. Sponsors of the event included Beacon’s Dr. Ornish’s Program to Reverse Heart
Disease; ShareCare; University of Notre Dame Public Affairs and Campus Dining; IVY Tech
Community College; YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program; Blue Zones; and the American
Culinary Federation. In addition, the group Michiana Vegan Living, with the support of
local organizations, has coordinated events since July 2016, drawing hundreds of participants;
and another group, VegMichiana, has also organized popular events for many years.
Michiana VegFest is the culmination of a long journey to meet our community's
interests and to bring further education on the benefits of a plant-based diet and lifestyle.
Come, and enjoy delicious food from local restaurants and businesses. Hear dynamic
speakers on health, ethical and environmental topics. Get inspired to cook plant-based foods
by attending our cooking demonstrations.
