The Final Brisbane Vegan Expo
Your last chance to celebrate Brisbane's vegan community.
Overview
After six years of inspiring plant-based living among a growing vegan community in Brisbane, Vegan Expo is taking its final bow. For one last weekend at the Exhibition Building in the Brisbane Showgrounds, celebrate the biggest and boldest Vegan Expo yet.
Expect to see more than just delicious food, but a vast array of cruelty-free fashion, natural wellness products and sustainable homewares. Not to mention, a special appearance by MasterChef finalist Simon Toohey, known for his plant-based and zero-waste recipes.
Wander through endless stalls and find local favourites, Vega Cafe, known for specialising in vegan comfort food with a Thai twist. Then, for the best meat alternatives, head to the Lamyong stall and enjoy their plant-based beef, chicken and more. There will also be stalls from Grassfed Burgers offering melt-in-your-mouth plant-based patties, and Asian-fusion flavours from Chef 365.
Over the years, Vegan Expo has donated $50,000 worth of free sites to animal sanctuaries, rescues and charities. This has allowed those groups to raise vital funds, connect with the community and amplify their life-saving work. It's this kind of generosity that has defined the expo from the beginning.
"This event has helped shape a kinder, more sustainable Brisbane," says Leizl Estioko, organiser of the Brisbane Vegan Expo. "Now we're inviting everyone to join us for one last time and make this farewell something truly special."
On Saturday, August 30 from 10am–5pm and Sunday, August 31 from 10am–4pm, head to the Vegan Expo one last time and celebrate the wonderful plant-based community of Brisbane. Tickets start at $11, but be sure to get in quick as they are expected to sell out fast.
