Veggie Fest 2011 is this weekend.

I've never been, but I'm going to try and make the trek out to Naperville Saturday, I think. Excited to check it out.

Anybody else going?

Yes I had someone tell me about this but i can't go to IL this year because of our move grrrrrr, Maybe next year we can go to IL and I will be there, I wanted to go but can't.

Ended up going on Sunday, and it was awesome. I was not expecting such a huge crowd. I'm sure a lot of people were there just because it was a free festival, but still. A much bigger deal than I was expecting.

There was a ton of great food. I got a crazy good vegan BBQ plate from Soul Vegetarian for lunch - BBQ tofu, greens, mac and cheese and corn bread. If I'm ever on the South Side, I will totally be checking them out.

Definitely going again next year.

Date's set for August 11th and 12th this year. Since it's still 7 months away it's possible it might change, but just sayin'.

A veggie fest sounds fun... Chicago scares me though.

It's not in Chicago. It's actually in Naperville. That's a pretty ritzy, upscale town. It's very safe. I go every year. We should have a meetup this year.

yep Naperville is next too my parents town and we are planning on if things are going smoothly in the next few months to go there this year.

It makes me sad that I never went.. and this August I'll be vegetarian for 3 years! I have to go this time.. D:

It is an amazing time. I wish they had one every weekend, but then I would be in debtors prison. I tend to spend a lot of money there. The weather was a little nasty this past year, but I still had a blast anyway. There's so much to do, see, eat, and the entertainment is fabulous. Make it a point to go, you won't be sorry.

It really was fun.

Chicago VeganMania was awesome, too. I ate a crazy amount of food at both events.

 

[Puppet Master]

Regardless of my post in here from 2010, I never actually made it to the 2011 Veggie Fest.

But it's probably more likely I will go to this years.

But anyway, yeah, Chicago VeganMania is awesome. I went to the first one and the one last year. I believe this year it will be at a different (larger) venue.
