About The festival
The Vegan Spring Festival celebrates plant-based food, conscious living, sustainability, and community. Organized by Animal Liberation Kitchen, a Toronto-based, family-run food business, the festival is inspired by animal rights and social justice. We are passionate about building a strong, vibrant vegan community.
At Animal Liberation Kitchen, our goal is not to pressure people into feeling guilty about eating meat; we simply intend to offer a healthy and tasty alternative. Our commitment is to bring same values to the Vegan Spring Fest and include all of our neighbours in the attendance.
