Veggie Fest Hamilton

This page is meant to serve as a place of education for those who are interested in eating a plant-based diet. It is a place of harmony, peace and positive attitudes. It's the official page of Veggie Fest Hamilton. Welcome!

My name is Monica - I'm the one posting on this page and interacting with all of you :)

I went veg in 2011 because my 1 and 2 year old boys wouldn't eat meat and I didn't know where they would get their protein (WHAT?? How did I EVER ask that question??). I decided to go veg for 30 days to test out new meatless recipes. After doing more research into where our food comes from, I was blown away at everything I didn't know. From that moment, I never went back.

I started Veggie Fest after being inspired by Raw Stock Niagara and the Toronto Vegetarian Festival in 2012. I knew we needed something in Hamilton and so, having an event production background, I started this show!

This page and this event is here to support everyone and anyone on this food journey. Whether you have been a vegetarian or vegan for years or you're looking to add a few meatless meals in your life - we're here for you. We all started somewhere and if you ever have questions about anything veg-related, please ask! :)
