As the year draws to a close and the winter chill settles in, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible community that makes Michiana VegFest possible. To our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and supporters — thank you. Your passion, generosity, and belief in a plant-powered future allow us to bring new flavors, fresh ideas, and meaningful conversations to our region each year.
We’re excited to bring you the latest from Michaiana VegFest as we continue building momentum toward our next big event! VegFest is more than a festival—it’s a celebration of plant-based living, local businesses, and the vibrant community that makes it all possible. Whether you come for the delicious food, inspiring stories, or the chance to connect with like-minded people, VegFest is a place where everyone can discover something new and feel part of a positive movement.
The 2025 Michiana VegFest was nothing short of inspiring. From delicious plant-based food and eco-conscious vendors to passionate speakers and dedicated environmental advocates, the energy and enthusiasm of our community were on full display. This event simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers.
