Immerse yourself in the ultimate Vegan Weekend Celebration at the SoCal VegFest — Southern California’s largest and most beloved plant-based festival offering an array of vegan food and samples, beverages, cooking demos, speakers, and the event’s first-ever Vegan Holiday Market featuring more than 80 vendors.

SoCal VegFest attendees can anticipate an exceptional experience featuring a VIP section with complimentary alcoholic beverages alongside an abundance of free food and drink tastings. Enjoy tasty bites from our vegan vendors and food truck partners serving up a plethora of food and drinks, all set against the backdrop of a vibrant, joyful gathering.

The festivities will take place at the OC Fair & Events Center, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 26-27, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. This event is designed to welcome individuals of all ages.

Special highlights include the Fast Pass, which grants expedited access to food lines for a more efficient dining experience, available exclusively to VIP ticket holders. Additionally, VIP attendees will enjoy the privilege of unlimited alcohol sampling.

Ticketing options are varied to cater to different preferences:

• General Admission One-Day Pass is affordably priced at $7.50 for early online purchases until September 30, after which the price will increase to $10 until October 25, and $15 on the event day, whether purchased online or at the door. This pass provides access to all food and non-alcoholic beverage vendors, shops, and speakers.

• The One-Day VIP Pass, available for $35 during the pre-sale period and $45 on the event day, offers all the benefits of General Admission plus VIP entry, an all-day Fast Pass, and unlimited alcoholic beverage sampling.

This pass includes all General Admission benefits, VIP entry, a weekend-long Fast Pass, unlimited alcohol sampling, and only for our Weekend VIP Pass holders — a gift bag filled with vegan products valued at more than $100.

The festival warmly welcomes individuals under 12, over 65, veterans, military personnel, and those with disabilities, and service animals free of charge, though online registration is required to avoid waiting in line for a complimentary ticket at the event.

The purpose of SoCal VegFest is to introduce Southern Californians and others to the benefits of healthy conscious living. Our goal is to inspire and support anyone who wants to learn more about living a more healthy, environmentally friendly, and compassionate life.
