The first portion of this event will start at Yonge & Dundas Square and runs from 12 - 6 pm. The running theme here seems to be FREE! As this portion of the event is free and will include FREE Veggie Dog Giveaways (thanks Tofurky!), FREE samples of great vegan foods (think Daiya and Vega), and a FREE lunch-hour concert. On top of all this free veggie-swag, there are going to be vegan celebrity appearances, including the opportunity to meet Gene Baur!

The second portion runs from 7:30 - 9:30 pm, at Hart House at the University of Toronto and requires the purchase of a ticket. Gene Baur (pictured to the right) will be speaking on the founding of Farm Sanctuary, plus some current issues in animal agriculture.
