VegFest DC 2003 - Events and Information

Time and Location

The fifth annual VegFestDC will be held on Saturday, 25 October from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

The event will be held in the historic 14th & U Street neighborhood.

VSDC's main events for VegFest DC 2003 will take place in the Frank D. Reeves Center of Municipal Affairs, at 14th and U Streets. The Center is located near the U Street Cardozo Metro Station, providing easy access for VegFest attendees. The area is also a popular site for shopping, dining, and clubbing, providing a natural constituency at the confluence of several residential neighborhoods. If you live or operate a restaurant in this neighborhood, we invite you to support VegFestDC. (With your time, your vegetarian fare, or in many other ways!)

Admission

Admission to all VegFest DC events is free, so whether you are a long-time vegetarian or just curious about vegetarianism, please don't miss this great opportunity to learn and have fun.
