The Jacksonville Vegan Chef Challenge is a month-long event presented by Vegan Outreach and Visit Jacksonville, and it is taking place the whole month of August 2026. During the event, around 30 restaurants and businesses all over Jacksonville have added new vegan menu items for diners of all palates to try. This is the perfect opportunity for foodies to experience the creativity, flavor, and excitement of delicious vegan food. Diners are encouraged to visit the restaurants, and to try and rate dishes for the opportunity to win a number of prizes, including a vegan luxury purse from Labante London, a $400 tattoo certificate from Fashion Haus Ink, a $100 gift card from Breakout Jacksonville, Lenny Kravitz x Rayban sunglasses, and much more! Check out our website to see the list of participating restaurants and their all-new featured vegan items!
