Eat well and eat green at Montréal Vegan Festival
Come taste the good life at the 11th annual Montréal Vegan Festival! The fest brings plant-based power to the Grand Quay in the Old Port on November 9 and 10, 2024, from 10 am to 6 pm. Join the 20,000 participants to meet the chefs, producers, activists, foodies and farmers that make vegan Montréal a true hub of excitement. And it’s all FREE.
A foodie's paradise
The Montréal Vegan Festival promises a weekend packed with activities that cater to all tastes — and offer LOTS of things to eat. The first floor of the grandiose new venue at the Grand Quay will feature over 100 exhibitors plying visitors with a wide range of stellar flavours, along with a dining area for all the vegan dishes, snacks and drinks you can purchase onsite.
The second floor will feature a private room for conferences and cooking demos by top vegan talents including the 2024 spokespeople, Marie-Michelle Chouinardand Lloyd Rose. Marie-Michelle and Lloyd are authors, entrepreneurs and culinary content creators who’ll be giving a free culinary demonstration on Sunday, November 10 at 4 pm. Not to be missed!
Other workshops (in French) include tips on making the perfect chocolate-raspberry Yule log and prepping a stellar chick’n Caesar salad. Here’s the full schedule of events.
Living the lifestyle
Veganism isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about a way of approaching living that prioritizes the health of the planet, communities and culture. There’s a lot to explore about the far-ranging impacts of veganism in the dozen free talks and discussion panels at this 2024 edition, which will cover topics ranging from sports to financial investment and the restaurant industry.
You’ll also be invited to shop for cosmetics, personal care items and household products, all of which are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The Montréal Vegan Festival team has carefully selected businesses that uphold ethical and sustainable values, all while keeping it as local as possible.
See you there!
