The New Jersey Vegan Food Festival, presented by online specialty market The Vegan Local, will take place November 13 at 11 a.m. thru November 14 at 5 p.m., at Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus. Vegans, vegetarians, veg-curious folks and friends of all kinds are welcome.

This “ThanksVegan” celebration will showcase the best 100% cruelty-free vegan food New Jersey has to offer. Organizers say their ultimate mission is to make New Jersey “a more compassionate, healthier and happier place to live by bringing together vegan-friendly foods, products and nonprofits with people of the Garden State. We are committed to building a community across the state and bringing vegan pizza to every town.”

Visitors can try new vegan foods and learn about factory farming and veganism while meeting and talking to likeminded people.
