Several past Texas Veggie Fair vendors will also be offering specials as part of this week-long celebration, and there will be special giveaways for listeners and social media followers. Texas Veggie Fair is a free, nonprofit vegan festival that was founded in Dallas in 2010. Tens of thousands of attendees over the past 10 years enjoyed local food vendors, free food samples, music, arts and other family-friendly entertainment while learning about the benefits of a plant-based diet from notable speakers and chefs.
