for San Diego Vegan Festival
The 2020 San Diego Vegan Festival is the first full-scale festival produced by Vegan in San Diego, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This event will showcase the vegan lifestyle through food, drinks, goods, information, and more! Admission will be free and inviting for vegans and vegan-curious folks alike. San Diego Vegan Festival will be held on Sunday, April 5, 2020, at the County of San Diego Waterfront Park (1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101) from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as a rain or shine event.
Our goal with this–and every–event is to offer a very affordable vendor fee to help our nonprofit cover fees associated with the venue, rentals, permits, etc. Expected attendance is currently 5,000 guests. Admission is free and parking nearby is free on Sundays.
