Atlanta, GA – June 26, 2024 – Georgia Vegfest is back at the Atlanta Expo North on August 25 for an inclusive family friendly fun festival. The event is produced by the group behind Vegfest Expos, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based out of Wake Forest, NC and Cotton Branch Farm Sanctuary, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit founded in 2004 and based in Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina. The festival is presented by Full Circle Farm Sanctuary out of Warm Springs, Georgia.

Festival-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy plant-based culinary delights, samples, and giveaways from vendors, A Peace of Soul from Columbia, SC, Juiiced Up Reesy from Charlotte, NC, traveling from Memphis, TN is Imagine Vegan Cafe, and the children will be entertained by book readings by Debra J. Mines, while being entertained by our Hostess, Mz. Jazzy and our DJ spinning the tunes while the children (and adults) play in our Family Fun Zone. Over 75 vendors, including food trucks outside, will bring a variety of animal-friendly wellness and beauty products, apparel, health services, educational resources, and more. An up-to-date vendor live map can be found on our website, vegfestexpos.com/georgia-vegfest/.

Education has been a staple at this event and that’s why we are including a full day of educators during the festival, featuring septuagenarian athlete, Dr. Akil Taher, author and vegan athlete Robert Cheeke, nutritionist and author Gigi Carter, and brain fitness and certified functional wellness coach Judy Hahn. The variety of topics featured will include health, climate, and the animals. The speakers start at 11:00am and go through the end of the event.
