Vegandale is returning to Toronto this weekend, giving everyone a chance to check out vegan comfort foods, immersive art installations and nearly 120 vendors from around the world. The festival, which first arrived in the city in 2015, will be held in Woodbine Park on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Most attendees are not vegan but are curious about the lifestyle, said Jenna Lindsay, the festival's vice-president of communications and entertainment.
Lindsay said you can look forward to trying vegan dumplings, donuts, grilled cheeses, burgers, ice cream and an assortment of baked goods. Other vendors will be selling lifestyle products. 'We're trying to show that a vegan world doesn't look a lot different,' she said. A DJ will be spinning all day, and local artist Connor Price will also perform at the festival.
'It's truly a party,' she said, referencing the inclusive atmosphere at Vegandale where by the end of the festival, everyone is usually dancing together on stage.
