Hey Vegan fans, this one’s for you! Pittsburgh VegFest is back, which features the cities best vegan food, cooking and food demonstrations, informative speakers, yoga, live music, shopping, and kids activities. And new this year–the happy vegan one-mile pet walk!
There’s a reason why it’s been voted best food fest in Pittsburgh for two years in a row! Check out some of these delicious food vendors!
The Happy Vegan/Notcho/Nocheez
Enjoy this dairy free cheese alternative which contains all natural ingredients. The cheese–less sauce is delicious! The notcho/nocheez is made from filtered water, ground raw almonds, nutritional yeast, peppers, lemon juice, onions, and sea salt. Try the classic, tangy, or hot! As they say, you’ll go nuts for it!

Check out these awesome gourmet desserts and gluten-free pastries. You have to try the vegan donuts! Also try the marble cake with almond frosting. And also the lemon tarts with berry compote and shortbread crust. On second thought, try it all!

Enjoy the refreshing organic, raw, artisanal cold-pressed juices. Cool down with some blended superfood smoothies and raw vegan snacks. A must have for a summer afternoon!
