VeganFest at the Park 2022

The Vegan Fest, which has attracted over 50,000 visitors in two days in 2019, is coming back to Sarona this year – big time.

This year, this vegan festival will take place for three days straight, on June 7-9, 2022, at Sarona Park. Every day, the enclosure will operate between 17:00-23:00.

The highlight of the festival comprises over 100 food stands and vegan restaurants, offering familiar dishes alongside  new and unique dishes at affordable prices. Among other delicacies, patrons will be able to enjoy exquisite food at the stands operated by restaurants Anastasia, Bana, 416, Miss V, The Green Butcher, Indira, Bretonne, Green Roll,  and many others.

In addition to the food stands and restaurants starring at the event, the festival will include various and diverse activity areas on the park’s vast lawns, where the activity will be provided to the general public free of charge.
