Burlington VegFest 2024

Burlington VegFest is a one-day festival celebrating compassionate, healthy and sustainable living.

Yes! The event is free of charge to our visitors.

Yes, rain or shine - unless the weather poses a threat to the safety of our vendors and attendees. And if that’s the case, we’ll post information on our website and Facebook, and notify vendors via email on the morning of the event.

Yes, this festival is 100% vegan.

Everyone is welcome to attend Burlington events as a visitor, regardless of their current dietary, lifestyle, political or philosophical status. Burlington VegFest welcomes people who are vegan, transitioning, curious or completely new to the whole concept.

Most exhibitors will take credit or debit cards, but some are cash only. Please note, there is NO ATM on site, so it’s recommended that you bring some cash - just in case that item you really want is cash only! Please note there is a Scotia Bank across the street.

We recommend bringing a reusable bag (for items) and a reusable water bottle (to stay hydrated). Consider bringing a folding chair and/or blanket to set up near the stage and enjoy a picnic with your friends & family while listening to the band and our speakers.

The only parking at the park is reserved for those with accessible parking permits and VIPs. Burlington VegFest has secured 150 parking spots at Lakeside Shopping Village across the street from the park. We strongly recommend taking the FREE shuttle from the Appleby GO station and parking there.

We are running a FREE Shuttle from Appleby GO Train Station! Burlington VegFest is also on a public bus route. Since there is very limited parking at the mall across the street we strongly recommend taking the Bus Shuttle. The ride is less than 10 minutes.

Put this address into your GPS: Burloak Waterfront Park 5420 Lakeshore Rd Burlington, ON L7L 1C9

Absolutely! Of course, dogs must be leashed, and you will be responsible for cleaning up after them, but there will be garbage bins throughout the park, as well as hand-washing stations.

We are expecting lots of pictures and video to be taken at the event! As with any public space, please be aware that you may be in some of the shots taken at VegFest.

No alcohol consumption is permitted, as per the City of Burlington By-Law.
