Winnipeg VegFest was launched in 2016 to serve as a hub for all things vegan in beautiful Manitoba. VegFest hosts a large and lively festival each fall, bringing together a rapidly growing community of animal activists, environmentalists, and health enthusiasts. Together, they celebrate a lifestyle of love and compassion for the animals, for the planet, and for our health.
