communities, will offer cooking demonstrations in both English and Spanish. Beyond
Meat, local Spiral Diner & Bakery and Viridescent Kitchen, a new
women-owned vegan kitchen will all be
providing meatless goodies.
Texas Veggie Fair
was founded in 2010 to bring together, educate and expand the plant-based
community regionally, nationally and worldwide; display alternatives to the
norm of destructive, violent food and product production; and provide a
positive, entertaining, and educational experience in a fun, welcoming
environment.
Admission is free. Location: 900 S. Harwood
St., Dallas. For more information, visit TexasVeggieFair.com.
