About us
We are Dublin Vegfest – a small dedicated group of people passionate about vegan living. The dream for Dublin Vegfest started some years ago when we saw the need to showcase the beneficial, brilliant and beautiful of a vegan lifestyle in Ireland. Using our backgrounds in organising vegan events, co-ops and training we decided to host Dublin Vegfest. We are inspired by other vegan festivals worldwide and aim to make Dublin Vegfest an important event in the calendar of anyone curious about great ethical food, vegan options, community, health and having the craic.
craic(noun) : Irish word for fun/enjoyment that has been brought into the English language. usu. when mixed with music. ‘Bhi craic agus ceol againn’ : We had fun and music. Fun doesn’t really cut it though. General banter, good times had by all. Also, a person who is good fun/great company.
