The annual Veg Food Fest is cancelled this year but there’s still plenty of vegetarian eats in town to check out. Kimberly D’Oliveira, executive director of VegTO, shares her favourites: StarTogether
Veg Food Fest has been a Toronto institution for almost four decades, so when the 2022 edition, scheduled for Sept. 10 and 11 at Harbourfront Centre,
was recently cancelled due to venue staffing issues, vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike mourned the lack of tasty meat-free treats this year. “Veg Food Fest is an important time for vegans, vegetarians and those who are in transition or open to discovery to come together, celebrate and experience joy,” says Kimberly D’Oliveira, above, executive director of VegTO . “We have always tried to make the event inclusive, inspiring, full of positive vibes and welcome to everyone.”
Even though this year’s fest isn’t happening, D’Oliveira is excited about the growing number of vegetarian and vegan delights Torontonians can enjoy year-round. “We are home to such a diverse group of people, and there are so many delicious vegan foods available from so many cultures,” she says. “Also, so many more restaurants and local businesses are investing in creating new vegan dishes, menus and products.
