The final festival of our 2026 season is coming up in Marietta, GA. Georgia Vegfest is Saturday at the Cobb County Civic Center.

This festival has a full lineup of educational speakers and we are showing the film Forever Home to start the day at 10:30am.

If you are close to Marietta, GA come out and shop small with us and eat lots of delicious food.

Georgia Vegfest is Saturday

Super quick newsletter this week. Georgia Vegfest is tomorrow. It's 10:45pm and we just got back from the Vegan and Friends Block Party in Atlanta. It's hosted by Gray and Chef Nikki weekly on Friday from 6pm to 10pm. It's fantastic. If you're local to Atlanta go support. We shared with the vendors and the attendees about Georgia Vegfest so hopefully some of them will make their way to Marietta for the event.

I'm sure I'll have more news next week and more time. It's been very busy getting down here and then getting stuff done.

I believe you will need at least a week to eat all of the delicious vegan food options down here. I'm disappointed I don't have more time.

I'm heading to Birmingham on Sunday for their vegfest. Imagine Vegan is going to be there. I am more than happy to go see them and spend time with some of my closest friends.

If you're close by Marietta, GA tomorrow, 11/7, please join us to shop small and to eat. It's going to be a great time. We won't have another festival until 2/28/27 in Durham, NC.

Until next week. Be safe and say hi if you see me running around at the festival.

I created a poll that I am asking for serious feedback. Why do you attend the festivals? What gets you out the door on the event day? What are you looking forward to the most? What is missing that would tip the scales? We especially want to hear from you if you are not vegan yet. How do we get more people in the door that are not vegan?

We are looking for Brand Ambassadors. Fill out this form and we will be in touch soon!
