What do Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland, Toronto and Austin have in common? They are all cities that host major regional vegetarian festivals each year. These events are packed with dedicated activists and food companies from hundreds of miles around, and feature some of the best food, experts, books, clothing, and other vegan goodies you can find.
