The one-day event will feature over 60 vendors with global plant-based eats and live entertainment.
Get ready for a day full of mouth-watering plant-based eats as the Oceanside Vegan Food Festival returns this Saturday, September 28! From 12 to 4pm, Pier View Way will transform into a plant-powered paradise between Coast Highway and Ditmar Street. Sponsored by ZENB, this event promises a diverse selection of vegan delights.
Global Flavors and Local Treats
Back for its second year in Downtown Oceanside, the festival will feature over 60 vendors offering a wide range of delicious options. Whether you're craving indulgent BBQ, pretzel rolls, and cheese sticks, or lighter bites like sushi, ceviche, and vegetable curries, there’s something for everyone. With menu items representing cuisines from across the globe—including American, Mexican, Egyptian, Korean, and Indian—you’ll have no shortage of exciting flavors to try. Plus, satisfy your sweet tooth with an array of vegan desserts like donuts, cookies, and beignets.
ZENB Plant Pantry and Community Fun
Don’t miss ZENB’s mobile Plant Pantry, where you can sample their popular yellow pea-based pastas and crackers. Michelle May, Director of Vegan Food Popup Events, said, "This event celebrates the vibrant diversity of plant-based cuisine and the community’s growing interest in healthier, more sustainable eating. We’re excited to bring together such a large and diverse vendor lineup that appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike.”
In addition to amazing eats, festivalgoers can explore local crafts, wellness products, and even meet adoptable pups from A Way Home for Dogs! With music, games, and community connections, it’s the perfect way to spend a Saturday.
