Kelowna City Park transforms into a plant-powered playground as VegFest Kelowna fills this lakeside green space with fresh flavours, vibrant community, and a feast for all the senses.

This all-day, family-friendly celebration invites everyone—vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, and the veg-curious—to savour the very best of the Okanagan’s plant-based bounty. Expect sizzling food trucks serving up creative, mouth-watering dishes, bustling artisan markets, and a full lineup of live entertainment with Okanagan Lake as your backdrop.

A Taste of the Okanagan, Plant-First

Sample juicy orchard fruits, locally grown vegetables, and dairy-free delights that prove indulgence and sustainability can go hand in hand. Between bites, meet passionate local chefs, farmers, and makers who are shaping Kelowna’s thriving plant-based scene.

Sip on fresh-pressed juices, try small-batch vegan cheeses, and discover inventive menus inspired by the land, seasons, and sunshine that make the Okanagan so generous.

More Than a Market

VegFest is as much about connection as it is about cuisine. Join cooking demos, wellness workshops, and interactive talks that will spark new ideas and maybe even a few new habits. Live music drifts across the park, kids can enjoy hands-on activities, and the whole event hums with the energy of people coming together over good food and good vibes.

Whether you’re here to fill your plate, your tote bag, or your heart, VegFest Kelowna is an open invitation to celebrate the creativity, abundance, and community spirit that thrive here—right on the shores of Okanagan Lake.

Insider Tip: Bring your appetite and a reusable bag—you’ll want to take home more than just memories.
