Carnivores beware: there will be no meat found on Tiger Mountain tomorrow as the Taipei Veggie Fest (台北素食生活節) returns for the third year with an extravaganza of live music, art performances, workshops and vegetarian / vegan food and drinks.
“Climate change, the pandemic, monkeypox, are we getting the message?” organizer Sean Scanlan says. “The best thing we can do for the planet is to change our diet. I’m not saying do it forever, just try it for one day.”
The eclectic music lineup will be rocking the two stages until late at night, featuring many familiar faces from last year.

This carnival ain’t for carnivores. Tiger Mountain is going meat free tomorrow to celebrate Earth Day with the second Taipei Veggie Fest, dubbed the “freshest party in town” by organizer Sean Scanlan. The extravaganza will feature all vegetarian and vegan food, arts and crafts, workshops and mostly performers who are vegetarian.
As usual, the main acts will rock the electric flower truck stage. This year’s lineup includes Dharma, a death metal band featuring a real life Buddhist nun; Pass the Vibe, a collective known for its hip-hop and freestyle dance battles and Balkan reggae-ska outfit Balkazar.
