What to wear:
If you have a Pro-Animal Oregon shirt, please wear it. If not, one will be provided.
Polite request: please avoid shirts that mention veganism or could be interpreted as vegan messaging so we keep the focus on the ordinance and make it easy for everyone to feel included.

Parking and Transportation:
Parking near City Hall can be limited, so please plan extra time and consider carpooling, biking, or transit if you can.

The Eugene VeganFest is a celebration of compassionate and sustainable living in Eugene, Oregon with fantastic food, innovative vendors, and inspiring speakers. Join us for a fantastic day where you can learn about how you can curb climate change, save animals from suffering, and help your body thrive. We will have dozens of local vendors featuring delicious plant-based food and drink, non-profits doing wonderful work in the community, animal sanctuaries that rescue animals in need, eco products that help change the world, and more. There will also be two rooms of informative presentations. The Impact Room will feature a variety of topics on the ethical and environmental reasons to be vegan and the Vitality Room will focus on the health and nutritional benefits of a plant-based diet.

Everyone is welcome! Veg-curious, pre-vegans, dabblers, hard-cores, and even heck-no-I-could-never-be-vegans. Let’s create a just, compassionate, climate-secure world; join us for a delicious celebration of compassion.
FAMILIES WITH KIDS: Children under 12 are admitted for free and we are creating a fun kids area with interative crafts and activities. Bring the whole family!

• Bring: Water and a snack (the animals love fresh produce, too!)
• Wear: Boots to handle mud, clothing/hat/sunglasses for the weather, and a mask for the dust
• Avian Influenza: If you have contact with birds, disinfect your shoes and clothes before and after the visit with bleach or something stronger to keep everyone safe.
• Carpooling: It would be ideal to share the cost of gas and limit our carbon footprint. Sign up to offer or request a ride.
