Get Ready to Savor the Surprises: Children's Veg Fest 2025 Returns with Youth-Owned Businesses and New Vendors!

Excitement fills the air as we announce the return of the Children's Veg Fest 2025! This is not just any event; it will be a celebration of youth entrepreneurship and plant-based living. Join us on June 14, 2025, at the Middle Branch Fitness & Wellness Center in Baltimore, MD, for a fun-filled day of learning and delicious vegan food. This year, we will feature returning favorites alongside new vendors that will add even more variety to our communal festival.


A Hub for Youth-Owned Ventures


At this year’s fest, we are placing a strong emphasis on youth-led businesses. Empowering young entrepreneurs is essential as we see a growing trend in plant-based eating. This year, we're proud to showcase vendors aged 21 and younger who are actively engaging with our community. If you know a young person making an impact or if you are one, we encourage you to reach out! The chance to collaborate and inspire one another is vast.


An Unforgettable Experience Awaits


Get ready for an unforgettable day packed with rich and vibrant activities! The festivities begin at 12 PM and run until 5 PM on June 14th. Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:



  1. Delicious Vegan Food: Indulge in a variety of scrumptious plant-based treats, including gourmet burgers, vegan desserts, and gluten-free options that everyone will love, even the toughest critics.


  2. Engaging Cooking Demonstrations: Enjoy live cooking showcases from talented chefs, such as a local culinary school’s team, as they prepare delicious dishes. Participate by asking questions or simply enjoy tasting their creations.


  3. Exciting Gardening Workshops: Get your hands dirty and learn about basic gardening techniques. For example, discover how to grow herbs and vegetables in small spaces. Research shows that children who engage in gardening are 50% more likely to make healthier food choices.
