Veg Out, Georgia!

Calling all foodies, families, and folks who just love a good time—Georgia VegFest is coming back to Marietta this summer! And this festival is shaping up to be the ultimate plant-powered party.

Whether you’re vegan, veg-curious, or just someone who appreciates tasty food, good vibes, and a festival that’s fun for everyone (and their stomachs!)… This is your chance to get in on the action.

Happening August 2–3 at the Cobb County Civic Center, VegFest runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, rain or shine! And trust us, this is not just a salad-and-tofu situation (although, hey, we love a good tofu taco). With over 75 vendors, food trucks slinging everything from burgers to brownies, and a DJ spinning all weekend long—there’s no shortage of flavor or fun.

Got kiddos in tow? Perfect! The Kid’s Fun Zone has games like giant Jenga, face painting, ring toss, and more. You can chow down on a loaded vegan nacho plate while your kids get a butterfly painted on their face—everyone wins!

There’ll also be guest speakers, vegan product sampling, and some sweet early bird ticket options starting at just $5. Want the full VIP treatment? Spring for the package that comes with early access, a swag bag, and entries into exclusive raffles!

 One of the best parts? Georgia VegFest is all about community and connection. You’ll find local businesses, sustainable brands, and passionate folks sharing everything from cruelty-free beauty to eco-friendly kitchen gear. Whether you're looking to dip a toe into plant-based living or you’ve been meat-free since MySpace was cool, you’ll find your people here.

So grab your friends, bring the fam, and get ready to veg out in the best way possible. Come hungry, leave inspired—and maybe with a new favorite snack in hand. We’ll see y’all there!
