Let’s look back at VegTO Fest 2024!

Being Canada’s largest vegan festival takes so much work...and in our humble opinion we WERKED it!

We didn’t lack in food options, and we never skipped out on the fun. We invited vegans and non-vegans to the party to learn what it’s like to live a plant-based lifestyle, and we inspired everyone to choose vegan living!

VegTO is built through the efforts of dedicated staff, committed attendees, passionate volunteers and innovative businesses that make the festival possible.

Keep in touch at and join Deals for Do-Gooders, our digital membership program that gives you access to 100+ Canadian plant-based businesses online and in-store.
