San Francisco Vegetarian Society celebrates “World Vegetarian Day”
The San Francisco Vegetarian Society (SFVS) is a non-profit organization that has been working in the Bay Area for over 25 years promoting a vegetarian diet as a healthful and humane way of life.
Run entirely by volunteers, the Society hosts events throughout the year such as vegetarian potlucks, picnics, dining out and lectures. The Society has been instrumental in popularizing the words vegetarian and vegan in the Bay Area. As a result of their work, professionals from many fields promote the benefits of a vegetarian diet, versus the old warnings of dire consequences.
SFVS and In Defense of Animals will present a World Veg Festival on October 4th and 5th, 2008 to celebrate World Vegetarian Day.
The two-day event takes place in the San Francisco County Fair Building, located at the Lincoln and 9th Avenue entrance to Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
This Award Winning Festival celebrates its 9th year with an action packed weekend of very informative lectures by the movers and shakers of the vegetarian movement plus creative vegan cooking demos;
international cuisine to sample or buy; a Children’s Corner play area, and a variety of world entertainment.
In addition there will be plenty of booths where festival goers can purchase a diverse assortment of ethnic, vegan foods and an array of earth and vegan friendly merchandise.
