On September 21, 2025, over 5,000 people joined us at Harriet Island Regional Park for Twin Cities Veg Fest. It was a joyful celebration of plant-based living, compassion, and community. Nearly 100 vendors, delicious food, inspiring speakers, demos, live music, and family-friendly activities made the day unforgettable.

Survey results show over 90% of attendees came to try new vegan foods, and over 60% said the festival inspired them to pursue a more compassionate lifestyle.

A huge thank-you to our volunteers, organizers, and sponsors for making the Midwest’s largest plant-based festival possible. For more detail see Compassionate Action for Animals’ (the organizer’s) blog about the event.
