Vegan SoulFest, Baltimore’s premier vegan food and music festival is returning this weekend, Friday, August 19 to Sunday, August 21, after a two year COVID hiatus! This year the festival is expanding to three days this year to give attendees more time to indulge in plant-based eats and treats, take in even more information about the benefits of a vegan and sustainable lifestyle, vibe to live music from national and local artists each day from our main stage, and so much more! Vegan SoulFest is also sharing its festival grounds with We Give Black Fest, powered by CLLCTIVLY. What does this mean?

We find that the most efficient way to do this is via staffed trash stations where festival attendees are guided by volunteers who direct their waste to the correct bins, avoiding contamination. Anyone who commits to a four hour volunteer shift is entitled to free attendance at the festival for the remainder of that day, both before and after your volunteer shift. You can take advantage of this offer on one, two, or three days. If you'd like to volunteer, fill out this form.
