ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
Madison Vegan Fest’s mission is to bring people together to enjoy delicious vegan food, hear from engaging speakers, and explore ways to live more compassionately and sustainably.
OUR HISTORY
Madison, Wisconsin has hosted a vegan fest every year since 2011 except for 2020/21 (for Covid Safety). Over the years, the location, name, and directors have changed but the community’s passion for vegan food and animal rights has only grown.
Madison Vegan Fest was created when organizers from past fests wanted to keep the event from leaving our community. Previous fests in Madison have been exciting and successful. Organizers were determined to see it continue! Especially because this fest is all about spreading the word of veganism and its impact to make a difference for animals, the environment, and the health of our community.
