Get ready to mark your calendars! 2018 is going to be a great year for vegan festivals! These festivals are full of inspiring speakers, great food, music, and fun games and activities. Some festivals even include cooking demos. Vegan festivals are a great way to meet others who share your compassion for animals and who choose a cruelty-free lifestyle.

Or, if you are interested in volunteering, you can visit a festival's website and find the volunteer section to sign up. What better way to show support for a great cause than to volunteer at a VegFest? Go ahead and add that to the New Year's Resolution list!

Read through the list to see if any festivals are coming to a city near you.
