Event Info

(January 15, 2021) – Due to the critical state of the public health crisis and the new CDC guidelines on crowd size, we have made the painful decision to cancel our 2021 Vegfest Los Angeles festival scheduled for May 2, 2021. The safety of thousands of festival attendees, along with exhibitors, volunteers, coordinators, guest speakers, and security officers played a major role in our decision. The unpredictable nature of this situation was also a big factor – we don’t know if it will be safe to hold to festival in May and by the time we know it could be too late to get food exhibitors signed up and file the required Health Department permits. We considered postponing the festival but future available dates to use the park take us too far into the extreme heat summer months.

For nearly two decades, this festival has been our contribution to saving animals’ lives, so it truly breaks our heart to do this. We are committed to Vegfest Los Angles returning next year in 2022.

Stay tuned! Our team is fast at work on something fun to make up for the festival this year. Get on our mailing list to be among the first to know. Announcement coming soon. Sign up here: https://vegfestla.org/

Pets are not allowed except for service animals.

We are so sorry to say that due to strict Health Department regulations and liability issues we are unable to accommodate your dogs (even on-leash) at the event this year. We are all animal- lovers and this is really disappointing for us. If it was possible for us to have them, we would! However, you can still get your “dog-fix” and all the dog-licks you can handle by visiting the many adoptable dogs from rescue organizations that will be available at the festival.  Service animals are allowed.
