In a country where a celebration is synonymous to lechon, a festival with no meat almost sounds sacrilegious. But there’s a vegetarian festival happening in town, and believe it or not, it may even entice those who are in love with bacon.
Wanting to spread the word about the importance of a plant-based diet, Manila Vegans and Vegans of Manila joined forces to organize the first ever VegFest Pilipinas happening on the weekends of Nov 12 & 13 at the Eastwood Mall, and Nov 19 & 20 at Lucky Chinatown.
What to expect? Veggie-loaded fun showcasing local independent vegan businesses. Plus activities like a fun run, a cooking competition, and musical performances.
VegFest Pilipinas founder and head organizer Jaq Abergas emphasized that veganism is for everyone. “This is for the foodies who want to explore meat-free and dairy-free offerings. This is for everyone who wants to make a difference,” she said.
At the media launch of the event last week Coconuts Manila got a taste of vegan goodies, which we think you might want to try too!
