Two days. One sprawling venue. No animal products in sight. That's what's on the agenda when the Brisbane Vegan Expo hits up the Brisbane Showgrounds across Saturday, October 17–Sunday, October 18 — returning for its second year after proving quite the drawcard in its first outing.

If adding more plant-based options to your diet gets your tastebuds salivating, then you'll be in the right spot. If you're keen to only purchase cruelty-free wares, you will be too. Last year's lineup included coconut soft serve from I Should Coco, vegan doughnuts from OMG Decadent Donuts, plus meat-less burgers from Grassfed — and that's just a few of the event's exhibitors. From vegan brownies to vegan French pastries, the list goes on, spanning organic teas, vegan leather, clothing, skincare, healthcare and household goods as well.

In addition to food, other goodies to purchase and a range of cooking demonstrations, Brisbane Vegan Expo will also feature an array of guest speakers — and showcase vegan charities.

Plus, if you nab your ticket early — before Saturday, February 29 — you'll only pay $5 to get in, rather than the usual $10.

Brisbane Vegan Expo will be open from 10am–6pm on Saturday, October 17 and from 10am–4pm on Sunday, October 20.
