After a debilitating two year break, VegFest is back and better than ever. Bringing people together with entertaining lectures and engaging events, VegMichigan is a nonprofit organization and a huge contributor to the rapidly growing plant-based community. Although VegFest was a huge success in the city of Detroit and the “Largest veg-friendly event in Michigan”, there are definitely criticisms to be made for an event that has such a significant impact on the health and well-being of one of America’s food deserts. With opinions varying from organizers at Action for Animals to regular attendees leading a plant-based lifestyle, this article provides full coverage on the highs, lows, and in-betweens at VegFest this year.
