What about the big VegtoFest?
We are currently working on re-imagining VegTO Fest. We're listening to the community and learning from our vendors and other partners how we could adapt VegTO Fest. You'll see more information coming but in 2026 join us Nov 1, for our Small Changes, Big Impact 'fest' at Wychwood Barns!
volunteer with us
Join VegTO as a volunteer and help us on our mission. Create an atmosphere of good vibes and join our community of like minded individuals.
For 41 years, Veg Food Fest has been a beloved Toronto event. From humble beginnings with hundreds in attendance, we have witnessed remarkable growth, with over 35,000 attendees and 160 exhibitors in 2019.
The event has historically included a variety of programs such as cooking demonstrations, award-winning documentaries and conversations with animal advocates, experts in nutrition and best-selling cookbook authors. For 2026 we are doing a mini-VegTO Fest that is more than a market - it's is an expo, festival, and science fair that showcases the positive impacts of plant-based choices on animal welfare, human health, food security, and planetary resilience.
We take pride in our commitment to serving Toronto. Unlike other veg event hosts, VegTO is Toronto-based. We live here, we work here and we understand you. Our grassroots goal has always been to connect local vegan businesses and not-for-profits with an audience that is embracing plant-based, compassionate living.
