What started as a one-block event in Toronto several years back has now expanded into a multi-city event with several stops in the United States. Vegandale is a vegan food and drink festival that hosts hundreds of vegan vendors. In addition to delicious grub and refreshing drinks, the event features epic art installations, live music, contests, dancing, and more.
