November Food Festivals
Did you feel that? We blinked, and it’s November. Crazy. But it does mean a bunch of epic foodie festivals, of course. Let’s nom nom nom into November.
VegoFest
Dates: Sunday 3rd
Location: Old Cheese Factory, Berwick
Cost: $2 entry
It’s time for another plant foodies wonderland with VegoFest. It’s the place to be for all munchie vegetarian and vegan delights. Embrace the vegetarian values of Love, Nurture and Connect – that’s the spirit of VegoFest. While you’re munching on all the things, enjoy live music and explore stalls overflowing with wholesome vegetarian/vegan goodness. Head on down to the Old Cheese Factory, and don’t think too much about if that’s vegan irony, or not.
Indian Festival
Dates: Sunday 20th
Location: Queen Victoria Markets (C & D Sheds)
Cost: Free entry
It’s time to spice up your life again with the Indian Festival. This epic annual event is back again so lose yourself in flavours, colours, aromas and all things delectable. From the butteriest of butter chickens, and the chai-est of steaming cups of chai, gotta taste them all! While you’re there, check out the stalls bursting with spices, textiles and crafts. I’m so there!

The Vegan Festival

November is the month for Vegan foodies to celebrate because the Vegan Festival is back. This isn’t just any foodie event though, it’s a celebration of all things plant-based and is the only 100% vegan festival in Melbourne (at least that we’ve come across). Vegan chocolate, vegan ice, vegan cakes. Even the DJs are vegan! So turn your plants away (they’ll never need to know), and head on down for a vegan spectacular.
