The 3rd Annual Tampa Bay Veg Fest
The 3rd Annual Tampa Bay Veg Fest,the Tampa Bay area’s only vegetarian/vegan festival, makes its return Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. — with a bang.
Veg Fest will take place at Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park, in a beautiful setting on the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. The park is conveniently located across the street and to the south of the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Parking is available in the adjacent South Regional Parking Garage, located at 301 Channelside Drive.
About 3,000 people attended last year’s event, and this October’s festival promises to be bigger and better.
The event — presented by Florida Voices for Animals in honor of the 30th annual observance of World Farm Animals Day — will appeal to all who enjoy tasty, healthy foods, whether or not they follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. The food booths drew rave reviews last year, and local vendors are expected to again impress attendees.
