Eat your vegetables Orlando - Central Florida Veg Fest returns this weekend!

Central Florida Veg Fest is an exciting day of colorful and educational exhibits and activities!

​​Presented by Vegetarians of Central Florida, the 21st annual Central Florida Veg Fest returns to Orlando this weekend, and it's one of the largest and longest vegan festivals in the world!

Central Florida Veg Fest takes place at Orlando Festival Park, 2911 E. Robinson Street, Orlando on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 10 am - 6 pm.

Central Florida Veg Fest is a free event that draws both committed vegans and those who want to learn more about how veg-living enhances health, the planet, and its inhabitants.

The festival offers a diverse cross-section of vegan cuisines and lifestyles. Discover new products and ideas from over 200 vendors and 100 contributors and enjoy a wide variety of presentations and food preparation demos.

If you're not a vegetarian you can discover new ideas to add color and variety to your meals or if you're a "seasoned" vegetarian interested in expanding your knowledge of nutritious and ethical foods, this is the place to be this weekend.

Enjoy speakers, food preparation demonstrations, a veggie kids zone, an animal haven, an artist corner, music on an acoustic stage, lots of other activities, and many veg-friendly vendors.

There are so many fun and interesting things happening at Veg Fest you will want to stay all day. And so much delicious vegan food that you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with plenty of snacks in between!
