We’re thrilled to announce that the 15th Annual Albany VegFest will be held on Sunday, October 5th at the Albany Capital Center. This vibrant and accessible location will utilize both the upstairs and downstairs event spaces. The expanded layout will allow for greater capacity, improved traffic flow, and more opportunities to showcase vendors, demonstrations, and wellness activities throughout the venue.
This space is perfect for showcasing everything VegFest has to offer.
Key Benefits for Vendors:
- Convenient Loading and Unloading: The space features the option of a loading dock with a freight elevator or more direct access via the front door, ensuring a smoother setup and teardown.
- Prime Vendor Location: Enjoy being at the heart of the event, where attendees will have easy access to your booths and offerings.
- Enhanced Attendee Experience: The large layout allows for a more space and relaxed atmosphere, encouraging attendees to spend more time exploring and interacting with vendors. We believe this change will enhance the overall experience for both vendors and attendees, making Albany VegFest 2025 an unforgettable event.
