World Vegan Day 2015
Melbourne's annual celebration of all things animal-free.
Overview
An entire day celebrating cruelty-free living, this massive community-run festival showcases everything a modern vegan needs.
Peruse a whole host of stalls flogging their vegan wares from beauty, natural therapies, food-turned-vegan stuffs (stock up on your fake meats and cheeses) and animal rights charities. Looking to 'Meet Your Pear'? There’ll be vegan speed dating on the day — open to vegetarians too. There'll also be food demonstrations, a vegan fashion show from up-and-coming designers, live bands and roving circus performers.
For those wanting to learn a thing or two between shopping and eating, the talks area will have presentations on subjects like the importance of Meatless Monday, Amazon rainforest destruction and cattle rearing. The Fitness Zone provides bodybuilding and exercise tips for animal product-derived fitness nuts.
Whether you're vegan, vego, carnivorous or simply curious, this is one open-minded event you'll have plenty to talk about after.
