Vegan Festival
Sunday November 14, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Whitmore Square
Morphett Street
Adelaide, South Australia 5000 Get Directions
The Vegan Festival is an outdoor FREE educational, family friendly, community event which aims to stimulate awareness by bringing environmental, health, lifestyle, and cruelty-free issues into the public eye. It also aims to encourage people to make simple changes in their everyday lives to help our environment, animals and the generations to come.

The festival will comprise live bands/performers, guest speakers, a food zone, a pet zone, children’s zone, movie zone, an education zone, art and fashion shows, entertainment and many stalls to create a fun-filled festival atmosphere strongly supporting the promotion of local grassroots communities, multiculturalism and the Indigenous people and their culture.

The Vegan Festival will be held at Whitmore Square (Ivaritji), a highly visible and accessible park, providing an inviting and green space right in the centre of Adelaide’s CBD. The Square is walking distance from the Central Market, Victoria Square and close to tram station, bus stops and train station; as well as being easy to walk or cycle to. Ample car parking is also available within walking distance to the festival. The World's first solar electric bus, named Tindo (the Kaurna Aboriginal word for ‘sun’) may also be available as a free service on the day.

Festival Mission
The Vegan Festival is a not-for-profit event that is first and foremost a public educational event but also acts as the best possible environment to research, test, trial, promote and raise funds for the not-for-profit, environmental, health and lifestyle, animal rights and welfare groups and organisations who attend the festival. The Vegan Festival aims to empower the community and the people within it to become more aware, more informed and thus more able to take action to implement the basic changes we need to help our planet, animals and our health.

The Vegan Festival will use this platform to give opportunities to link organisations and local communities to information and education to further create and sustain the development of our city.

The aim is to demonstrate good community development practice through the involvement of community groups and schools prior to and during the event. The Vegan Festival also focuses on helping creating strong and fair communities and make Adelaide more vibrant and culturally diverse place to live, study, work and visit.
