If you are a vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious just like I am, this is an event well-worth going to this weekend. The VegFest Pilipinas 2018.
It is no secret that I am slowly but surely transitioning into plant-based lifestyle. I have been throwing hints here and there in some of my blog posts and I am grateful that some of my beloved readers are very supportive. Some of you even asked me to blog more about vegan/vegetarian/plant-based recipes that I am learning these days. So I figured, it would be nice to share about the food festival I am excited about.
The VegFest Pilipinas is the first ever vegan lifestyle and food festival here in the Philippines. This year, VegFest Pilipinas is going to be a two-day festival that will feature vegan food, cooking classes, yoga, dance, and work out classes, talks, and live performances among many others.
This is my first time to attend VegFest and while there are plenty of things to look forward to the entire run of the festival, those which I am really excited about are the cooking classes and live music performance. And I learned that Quorn Philippines, one of the best products to buy when you are transitioning to a cruelty-free lifestyle, will release three more vegan products which will be available at the VegFest Pilipinas 2018 - I am so excited about that.
The VegFest Pilipinas 2018 is brought to us by Vegans of Manila and Quorn and it will be on November 17-18, 2018 (Saturday-Sunday) and will be held at BGC Art Center. It will be hosted by actress/emcee Elle Velasco, PTV4 news anchor Rich Cruz, and comedian Stanley Chi. They are encouraging everyone to go zero waste and bring your own containers, utensils, and bags. Lucky zero wasters who will be spotted by the VegFest team will win goodies.
This week is a tad hectic for me but I am grateful that there's VegFest Pilipinas 2018 to look forward to this weekend. I hope you could be there too!
One of the famous Manila food bloggers, a non-vegan writing about a vegan festival, there's hope for humanity after all!

ReplyDeleteI knew you will write about this! Hahaha! I've been reading your blogs for the past years because I love your photography and the way you tell your stories.

It is not as hard as they say.

ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Yedy, is this a free event? is there entrance fee?
ReplyDeleteMs.Yedy, this is something new. I am a long-time reader. I read all your blog about different food fairs since 2009 particularly the Best Food Forward and Ultimate Taste Test. Now you made me curious about VegFest. My hubby and I will definitely check this one out.
ReplyDeleteIs there an entrance fee?
ReplyDeleteMy family is also looking forward to this! I hope there's more food compared to Vegfest they held in Eastwood.
ReplyDeleteHi Yedy, I love reading your blogs especially the recipes. My in-laws are vegetarians and they recently gave me Quorn products. I hope you could share some recipes using it. Thank you so much in advance.
