"Previously a one-day event, it's now a week-long affair in early September with live music, eating contests, merch and global grub. The 2025 Bizerkeley Food Fest Week in previous years just the Bizerkeley Food Festival kicked off Sept. 1 with a screening of the food-industry documentary They're Trying to Kill Us. It culminates with the main food festival on Sept. 7 at the North Berkeley BART Station, featuring more than 80 vendors (some offering free samples) and a vegan fashion show."
"General admission is free and there are line-skipping express tickets and VIP experiences for $20-$75. Billing itself as the largest vegan food fest in Northern California, the Bizerkeley Food Festival was started in 2021 by entrepreneur Erika Hazel, nicknamed The Bizerkeley Vegan. There's lots on tap, from pie-eating competitions to beer-and-wine lounges to a vegan mac-n-cheese taste-off. On Sept. 7, there will be performances from acts like alt-rock band Uromastyx and hip-hop artist StunnaMan02, the mind behind 2024's single, Eat a Salad."
