INDIANAPOLIS (WISH)– A vegan food festival is making its debut in Indianapolis this weekend.
Black Vegan Fest Indy is a celebration meant to fill your stomach while raising awareness and education about veganism.
“We’re not just out here eating grass,” the festival’s founder, Quiana Quarles, said.
Attendees will also be able to experience live entertainment, family activities, information about holistic wellness and more. The event is from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday at 3137 East 10th Street.
Quarles says the original purpose of the festival was to improve the health of Black communities by dismantling the stigma behind veganism and letting people know where they can find healthy food in the city.
