Asheville Veganfest – Fall
Celebrate the Harvest at Asheville Veganfest Fall!
As the leaves change in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the plant-based celebration returns! Join us for Asheville Veganfest Fall on Sunday, October 25, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. We’re bringing the community together for a crisp autumn afternoon filled with incredible food, sustainable shopping, and mountain vibes.
Whether you’re looking for hearty seasonal eats, unique artisan crafts, or just want to enjoy a family-friendly day at the park, there is something for everyone. This event is free to attend (with a $10 suggested donation), and we’ll have plenty of activities to keep the “fur kids” and human kids entertained.
