All Vegans, Vegetarians, Veg-Curious folk and Friends of All Kinds are Welcome!

Nobody takes delicious food more seriously than New Jersey, and that includes vegan food. Whether it’s a next-level veganized classic pork roll, a perfectly crafted vegan cannoli, or a giant slice of vegan pizza, this state puts their heart and soul into bite. We don’t mess around. We’ll happily debate the perfect ratio of tempeh to avocado on your sandwich and who has the best french fries you’ve ever tasted.

In Jersey, vegan food isn’t just an option—it’s an art form. Its a lifestyle. And yes, even your carnivore friends will have thier minds blown with the level of deliciousness we bring you. Fuhgeddaboudit!

About the Event.

The Asbury Park Vegan Food Festival is a two-day celebration that celebreate the good food and good people of New Jersey. We bring together the state’s finest vegan and plant-based food from local chefs, restaurants, food trucks, and product developers, as well as vegan lifestyle gear, cruelty-free fashion, live music, and an outdoor bar stocked with vegan cockatils and mocktails!

Taking place just across the street from the iconic Asbury Park Convention Hall, this festival serves up everything from jackfruit tacos to desserts that could convert the most committed cheese-lover. This festival is where vegans and non-vegans unite to eat, laugh, hang out in the sunshine, and argue over who has the best slice of pizza. So grab your fork, your appetite, and your most eco-friendly tote bag—Asbury Park is serving up vegan food perfection!
