Toronto’s Vegetarian Food Fair: The Largest Veggie Festival in North America

From Sept 8 - Sept 10, an estimated 15,000 people will pass through the expansive grounds at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre for the 22nd Annual Vegetarian Food Fair. Over 100 exhibitors will share their knowledge and products with vegetarians and the veg-curious. Those interested in health, animal advocacy, and environmental issues will also enjoy a host of free events, including speakers and cooking classes. Of course, the food will be abundant, with a wide variety of affordable veggie treats available for all-day munching.

The Fair provides a chance to connect with vegetarians, or rub elbows with favourite authors, not to mention an opportunity to celebrate the last bit of summer. In our interview, Michael Chambers brings us behind the scenes as the Toronto Vegetarian Association (TVA) gears up for the Fair, and shares some of the weekend's highlights.

Please bring some re-usable food containers and your appetite! This is an event not to be missed. Hope to see you there!

Please correct the dates. the Fair is from the 11th through the 13th, NOT the 8-10 as listed in your copy.

Hi Johnny,

Actually, the dates are not wrong: This is an archived show from 2006. You'll see that we do an interview with the TVA each year to promote the Food Fair. We just did an interview yesterday with the Food Fair coordinator for this year's Fair. That show should be archived soon.

Cheers,
Lauren
