Expo 2020 Dubai will be home to the Middle East’s first vegan food festival this January, presenting flavours from around the world with a game-changing culinary experience in association with Veganuary and Vegan Days.
Veganuary is a non-profit organisation that encourages people worldwide to go vegan during January – and beyond. During the 2021 campaign, more than 500,000 people took the pledge to try a vegan diet, with about 825 new vegan products and menu options launched around the world.
The food fest will bring together the greatest plant-based food the region has to offer, giving visitors the chance to sample nutritious vegan bites with a side of music, courtesy of a diverse line-up of DJs.
