FAIRFAX VEGFEST

FAIRFAX, VA — Beyond the food trucks and the music, the Fairfax Vegfest has always been about the power of showing up for one another. On Sunday, April 19, 2026, Vegfest Expos—in heartfelt collaboration with FARM and Greenfare—invites the Northern Virginia community to the headquarters of the Northwest Federal Credit Union for a day of celebration, education, and connection. From 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the credit union’s parking lot will transform into a vibrant space where the plant-based lifestyle takes center stage. This family-friendly festival is designed for everyone—from the lifelong vegan to those just beginning to explore a more humane way of eating. A Festival Built on Connection Fairfax Vegfest is more than a curated market; it’s a gathering of people who believe in a better world. Attendees can enjoy: • The Best Damn Vegan Eats: A powerhouse lineup of food trucks serving incredible plant-based flavors. • Shopping with Purpose: Browse local vendors offering sustainable goods and cruelty-free products. • High Energy & Live Music: A live DJ will provide the soundtrack for the day. • Hourly Raffles: Join the fun with raffles held every hour. Tickets are available for $5 each, or 10 for $25. Location & Logistics • Date: Sunday, April 19, 2026 • Time: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM • Location: Northwest Federal Credit Union Headquarters • Parking: A $5 parking fee will be collected at the entrance. Every dollar from parking serves as a donation to help us continue producing these festivals for the Southeast community. A Message of Resilience This year’s festival carries a deeper meaning for the organizers at Vegfest Expos. As the team works tirelessly to bring this vision to life, the focus remains on the strength of the community that supports them. "There are times when things feel surreal and difficult, but what keeps me moving forward is this incredible community," says Helene Greenberg, Executive Director of Vegfest Expos. "These festivals are my heart and soul. Seeing our 'vegfest world' come together—the volunteers, the vendors, and the supporters—reminds me that even when things shatter, we can glue the pieces back together into something even stronger. We are resilient because we have each other, and I can’t wait to see everyone in Fairfax." ________________________________________ Media Contact: Helene Greenberg, Executive Director - Vegfest Expos vegfestexpos@gmail.com - vegfestexpos.com
