VeganFest in Knoxville, Tennessee
Scruffy City VeganFest, a festival designed to showcase local and out of town businesses who provide compassionate and cruelty-free food and services, will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. October 13, 2019, in the Expo Center, 5441 Clinton Highway, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Promised are plant-based food samples, live entertainment, and children’s activities. Tickets are available online.
“This event is not just for vegans and vegetarians, it’s for anyone who is curious about thoughtful, sustainable eating and living,” said Helene Greenberg, founder of Triangle VegFest and producer of Scruffy City VeganFest. “There’s a lot of talk in the media today about veganism and what it means for our health, animals, and the future of our planet. We’re excited to showcase more than 50 local and regional vendors that are making an impact on the sustainable and cruelty-free scene in East Tennessee. They will be on hand to showcase their food and products, and with the help of our sponsors, like Three Rivers Market and Born This Way Body Arts, this will be a zero waste event.”
Scruffy City VeganFest is hosted by Knoxville Farmed Animal Save, a member of The Save Movement Worldwide Network, dedicated to raising awareness of animal cruelty by bearing witness to animal suffering.
Speakers at the VeganFest include Allison and Shayler Spellman, Ronnie Tsunami, Lisa Marie McDonald, Brittany Sadé, and musician Grey, who also has a clothing line, Plant Based Drippin. In addition, musical acts Three Day Flight, James Shepard and Chloe Hanson will perform.
