PHX Vegan Food Festival

In its fourth consecutive year, the PHX Vegan Food Festival, presented by Davisson Entertainment, returns to Downtown Phoenix February 23 to February 24, 2019.

Brand new for this year’s festival, the event is expanding to two days, with Sunday being a brunch theme. The PHX Vegan Food Festival will once again be held at Margaret T Hance Park, and to accommodate the ever-growing event, the footprint of the festival will be expanded among more of the venue.

The PHX Vegan Food Festival will be held on February 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and February 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with one-hour early entrance on both days for VIP ticket holders. The event will feature more than 100 vegan and vegan-friendly vendors, including food trucks, restaurants and packaged food and non-food products. On Sunday, restaurants and food trucks are encouraged to serve brunch appropriate dishes. Several no-host bars will be located throughout the site, and on Sunday the offerings will be expanded to include brunch time beverages, such as mimosas, bellinis and screwdrivers.

Other highlights for the family-friendly festival include demonstrations and presentations by chefs and vegan experts, a kids’ area spearheaded by Scottsdale Center for the Arts, and live art demonstrations.
