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.

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.”
