Get ready to veg out at this year’s Chattanooga VegFest

Any vegans or vegetarians in the audience (or those that are veg-curious)? Get ready for Coolidge Park to be transformed into the food court of your dreams.

NOOGAtoday | Chattanooga VegFest

Spend a weekend chowing down on clean food options.

The Chattanooga VegFest will return for another round of showcasing healthy and plant-based food options in Coolidge Park Saturday, Oct. 14 + Sunday, Oct. 15.

In collaboration with the 7 Bridges Marathon, folks can expect 30+ regional and local food, artisanal, and informational vendors. Think: meat substitutes + baked goods, plant-based items, and information on how to change your diet for those that are curious.

Pro tip: Check out this interactive vendor map to learn more about each one and plan for your festival weekend.

This family-friendly event will also feature a “Kids Fun Zone” full of yard games, activities, and free face painting for the kiddos.

Bonus: This is a free festival, but there are different ticket options for donations, swag bags, and VIP perks + the park will be split between this festival and the Between the Bridges Festival.
