CRVN’S FREE VEG FEST 2025: Bigger, Better, and Back at the Albany Capital Center!

We’re thrilled to announce that the 15th Annual Albany VegFest is happening on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the Albany Capital Center—and this year, we’re expanding across both the upstairs and downstairs event spaces! After an incredible 2024 event, we’re returning with even more room to grow, connect, and celebrate compassionate living in this FREE event.

What to Expect in 2025:

Our expanded venue means more of everything you love:

🌱 Vegan Vendors offering food, drinks, skincare, clothing, eco-friendly products, and more
🧘 Wellness Workshops including educational resources, wellness vendors, and plant-based nutrition talks
🍽️ Live Cooking Demonstrations hands on demos and samples brought to you by the dedicated CRVN volunteers and phenomenal speakers who donate their time
🎤 Speakers & Panels on sustainability, animal advocacy, and food justice
🎨 Kids’ Zone and interactive activities for all ages
💚 Free Samples, Giveaways, and Local Nonprofits to support and learn from

Why This Year Is Special:

As we celebrate 15 years of CRVN’s mission in action, this Veg Fest reflects the evolution of our community. We’re creating a festival that’s more accessible, inclusive, and dynamic than ever. Whether you’ve attended for years or this will be your first, you’ll feel the energy and purpose that makes this event unforgettable. Veg Fest is put on by us, a local, volunteer-driven nonprofit, and donations will be very welcome. We suggest $12 or more at the door, but ticket packages are sold online for $10 and up, which includes a goodie bag!
