Activities
Central Florida Veg Fest has a variety of activities and information for everyone! Music, speakers, yoga, kid's activities, and more will all be available to let you know what you can do to help your health, the animals, and the planet--while have fun doing it.
Many fun and educational activities will be happening throughout the day at Central Florida Veg Fest! Come out for the whole day and take in as much as you can.
Vegetarians of Central Florida (organizers of Veg Fest) will feature the Ask-A-Vegan tent at Veg Fest Central. Come get all your questions about veganism answered and sample numerous delicious and nutritious food and drink products from a multitude of veg companies (sponsored by Whole Foods Market), including Beanfields, Daiya, Follow Your Heart, Gardein, Kelapo Coconut Oil, Larabar, Raw Revolution, and Tofurkey. Also at Veg Fest Central will be the VegCF booth, so come get information about the group and its activities. VegCF will also be selling new and classic Veg Fest and Earth Day t-shirts.
Veg Fest special guest and Earth Sponsor IBEX Puppetry’s interactive Endangered Species Parade engages people of all ages in a fun, upbeat discussion about conservation. Families learn about the native Florida environment as they build their very own endangered animal and pollinator puppets. Their Musical Garden and Nature Workshops (for families) allow participants to explore the roles we humans play in the rhythm of the earth that surrounds us. Then everyone is invited to march in any of their four parades, featuring their colorful IBEX Puppetry kites, flags, and puppets. Meet us for a day of celebration and learning dedicated to the health and healing of our planet!

In a world where listening has fallen to the side, where posting, tweeting, texting, voice(ing) has become the norm, The Listening Project aims to listen to people. Through pop-up art galleries, outdoor/indoor festivals, The Listening Project presents a purely listening experience. Two chairs aligned to face each other in off-parallel lines, touching only on one side encompasses the physical structure. The team, Tisse Mallon, Jack Graham, and Banks Helfrich, listen to any able and interested volunteers who want to be listened to. The experience is timed at five minutes. The Listening Project's goal is to make Orlando a beacon of listening, pulling people away from screens and back into direct human contact.
