SoCal VegFest produces plant-based events that strengthen community, expand access to plant-based education, and foster meaningful connection.

What began as a single annual festival has evolved into a range of experiences across Southern California, including plant-powered mixers, pop-up events, and larger festivals produced in collaboration with cities and community organizations.

Each event is intentionally designed to create welcoming, inclusive spaces centered on plant-based food, sustainability, and shared values.
Our events support and elevate plant-based businesses, nonprofits, speakers, and local partners working to advance a more compassionate and environmentally responsible food system.

Through education, visibility, and community engagement, SoCal VegFest helps make plant-based living more accessible and approachable for people at all stages of their journey.

SoCal VegFest is organized by a dedicated team of volunteers and produced as a project of Simply Vegan Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to create community-driven experiences that encourage informed choices, support local impact, and integrate plant-based living into everyday life.
