The 13th annual Charlottesville Vegetarian Festival (CVF) will be held -- RAIN OR SHINE -- on Saturday, September 26, 2009 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm in Lee Park.
The CVF is a free, outdoor celebration of a healthy and humane lifestyle that brings together diverse individuals and organizations who want to make the planet a more healthy, sustainable, and compassionate place for all to inhabit and enjoy. One of the largest vegetarian festivals in the United States, this one day event typically draws about 6,000 visitors.
The CVF features a wide variety of vegetarian food. Free vegan food samples from natural-foods companies are also available. In addition to restaurants and food vendors, the approximately 100 exhibitors/vendors hosted by the festival also include compassionate-living advocates, nonprofit and educational organizations, animal rescue organizations conducting an Adoption Fair for dogs and cats, a "Kids' Patch" for children, and a wide variety of other fun-raising activities supporting the projects of Voices for Animals.
The Charlottesville Vegetarian Festival is coordinated by Voices for Animals, an animal-protection organization serving Central Virginia since 1984. The festival is organized entirely by volunteers. Members of the festival organizing committee donate their time and skills to make it all happen!
