Eat well and eat green at Montréal Vegan Festival
Come taste the good life at the 12th annual Montréal Vegan Festival! The fest brings plant-based power to the Windsor Station right downtown on November 15 and 16, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Join the 20,000 participants to meet the 80-plus chefs, producers, activists, foodies and farmers that make vegan Montréal a true hub of excitement. And it’s all FREE.
A foodie's paradise
The Montréal Vegan Festival promises a weekend packed with activities that cater to all tastes — and offer LOTS of things to eat. The over 80 exhibitors will ply visitors with a wide range of stellar flavours. There will be a dining area for all the vegan dishes, snacks and drinks you can purchase onsite, as well as space for conferences and cooking demos by top vegan talents including the 2025 spokesperson, Loounie.
Loounie is an author, entrepreneur and culinary content creator on her blog Loounie Cuisine who used to be a healthcare practitioner and brings an aspect of holistic health to everything she does. She’ll be giving a free closing talk on Sunday, November 16 at 5 p.m. Not to be missed!
Other workshops (in French) include tips on making the perfect cheat-meal hero sandwich. Count us in! Here’s the full schedule of events.
Living the lifestyle
Veganism isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about a way of approaching living that prioritizes the health of the planet, animals, communities and culture. There’s a lot to explore about the far-ranging impacts of veganism in the free talks and discussion panels at this 2025 edition, which will cover topics ranging from science to coastal resilience, legislation and the meeting point between ecology and economy.
You’ll also be invited to shop for cosmetics, personal care items and household products, all of which are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The Montréal Vegan Festival team has carefully selected businesses that uphold ethical and sustainable values, all while keeping it as local as possible.
See you there!
