Boston Vegetarian Food Festival October 21, 2006

The Boston Vegetarian Food Festival is a full day of fun, good food, and learning! It brings together exhibitors of vegetarian natural foods from across the country and locally, offering free food sampling and "show special" discounts. It provides a welcoming environment in which to explore a wide variety of delicious, healthy, and readily available vegetarian foods.

The Festival offers the opportunity to talk to food producers, see and taste the latest vegetarian products being introduced to the marketplace, and shop at discounted prices. Attendees can learn from speakers who are top national experts on health and nutrition, and presenters who inspire compassion for animals and respect for the environment. Award winning chefs and cookbook authors teach their recipes and offer free samples of the dishes they demonstrate. Educational exhibits on animals and the environment, and a children's activity center round out the day.

The longest running event of its kind in the country, the Festival is a resource for vegetarians and for anyone wanting to include a greater variety of healthy and delicious foods in their diets. Our past Festivals have each attracted thousands of attendees who come from all over the Northeast and beyond.
