Compassionate Living Festival
Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 12:00pm to 06:00pm
Compassionate Living Festival
Norse Hall
111 NE 11th Ave
Festival Event Features
Inspiring speakers, vegan vendors, cooking demos, children’s area, farm sanctuary volunteers + other non-profits, and plant-based food.
It’s also a place for the vegan-curious to learn more about choosing a healthier, more compassionate lifestyle. Get your questions answered and enjoy the delicious creations from our plant-based food and drink vendors. For those familiar with former Portland area VegFests, this is a smaller scale version of these. The tone of this event is kindness and compassion, directed toward our fellow humans, other animals, and the planet.
