Texas Veggie Fair

This was my second year at the TX veggie fair and we loved it! Its one event where multiple food trucks, gift shops, small businesses all gather to celebrate everything that is vegetarian (many vegan items too!)my favorite food: We loved the Mexican stall that served fried avocados and fresh made tacos/tamale at great prices. The Thai restaurant was great too (loved their corn patties).Location: Reverchon park was too small for the event. I hope they host this at a different place next year. Overall, it was fun.

The annual Texas Veggie Fair!! I am writing this review after experiencing it for years and in after seeing several different and the same vendors. I love the Veggie Fair. I think it's great that there's a vegan festival of this magnitude in Dallas every year. As the Fair grows, we should definitely look into having more chairs, tables, and a way to offer or access free water at the fair. There are great free items here every year, speakers, and a mesh of all walks of life :). I wore a shirt I designed and people LOVED it! It also generated some interested buyers and laughter too haha! I appreciate how many vendors are at each Fair and the variety of them. It is unfortunate that some vendors hike prices up for the fair but is understood because all fairs and vendors typically do the same. Such as how a state fair water bottle is $3+ for the same bottle that is $1 at a gas station. Check this place out and bring good attitude, a smile, and also gauge the weather for comfort!

This was my first time at Veggie Fest and for a part-time vegan like myself, this was an educational experience in all things veggie.There were sooo many vegan food vendors that I had never heard of, and even vendors selling vegan soaps, clothing and other items that I had no idea were even made with animal products. Lots of free samples to taste and try out products before making a purchase.Just be prepared to hunt for parking since it gets crowded around Reverchon. And there are LOTS of dogs there so just a heads up. Can't wait for next year!

This was my first year coming out to the Texas Veggie Fair and overall I had a pretty good time. Not being a vegetarian or vegan, I went in not really knowing what to expect. Initially I thought there'd be a farmers' market type element to it where I could buy some farm fresh produce, but it's more of a music festival and food truck event. The environment was fun. The performers were actually half-way lit, considering that alternative music and punk rock are't really my thing. I love how it wasn't crowded. Everyone had adequate space to spread out with picnic mats or sitting on the concrete playground ledge. Definitely family friendly! They allow pets BUT none of the pet water fountains worked so my little nugget was parched the whole time :( Some of the pathways were narrow and had gravel; there were elderly and mobility impaired guests that appeared to have a hard time getting through the winding path through the vendors.This, and the fact that the few trash cans that were there were overflowing - I had to dock some stars.Take public transit, uber, or lyft. I made the mistake of taking my car and had to circle around for 20 minutes until finally settling on parking at a friend's complex nearby and walking.The fried oyster mushrooms and vegan corn dogs were hits. I'm still stunned by how chicken - like the fried mushrooms were! They made my pre-game bacon breakfast seem frivolous lol. The popsicles looked awesome. The Cinnaholic cookies were out of this world. The vendor pricing was festival-steep, but considering that the event is free, this was expected. The small try of fried mushrooms was $11.I will be back next year!

This year was our 1st visit to the Texas Veggie Fair and it surpassed our expectations! Myself, my husband, and our two kids had a wonderful time. This is such a great event for our community. All of the food vendors we tried were great and we got some great merchandise as well. It's a one day event, so there were lots of people, but it flowed very well.

I really enjoyed myself at the Veggie Fest. First time to attend, so I wasn't sure what to expect.The park itself is lovely- lots of room & well-maintained.The Fest was busy with lots of participants. The hubster couldn't attend so I was solo, so I took my time talking with animal rights advocates who had booths.I also tried some tasty vegan food at the food tents! Many options between the tents & food trucks.I recommend the event to both herbivores and carnivores-- veg-heads are super friendly so everyone is welcomed!

I love the Texas veggie fair have been going for years. A new location this year. I live the Dallas market area a bunch to do. Great vendors this year and a fun family area. The only thing is the lines for food are long.

Wonderful event for the health conscious...whether you are vegan, vegetarian or just like to dabble in the lifestyle from time to time...there's something for everyone! Excellent venue too in the scenic/shaded Reverchon Park. There were a ton of food vendors & even food trucks serving up samples & meals for purchase. My favorite booth was the Holy Kombucha! The cucumber Thai basil brew was so spectacular I bought a big jug to take home! They also had folks selling jewelry, natural soaps/lotions & some incense. Beautiful day for it too. And best of all it's free! Bring the doggies & fam. Looking fwd to returning next year. Arrive early for a decent parking spot.

I don't know..maybe I missed something...but I didn't witness anything extraordinary at this event.It should be called the Texas Vegan Fair not a 'veggie fair.'I was hoping to see local farmers with produce. Maybe vegetarian type apparel, info, and foods too.But it was not a vegetarian festival it was a vegan event. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just the event title is misleading.The fair consisted of vegan food trucks, food vendors, arts and crafts, holistic approaches for well being and other miscellaneous businesses.Actually much smaller than I expected though.Literally just a bunch of tents set up with people selling over priced items (ie grocery tote bags $25).Many of the vendors didn't even bother to acknowledge me when I approached their booths so why would I even consider making a purchase??There was basically no where to sit if you decided to grab a bite..unless you brought a blanket. And since it happened to be on a day after rain the grounds were muddy and wet.Parking wasn't terrible (I went around 430p).But overall the experience was a disappointment.I'm just glad there wasn't an entry fee.

I love this place so much that I now volunteer there. The vegan hot dogs were awesome. I haven't got to try too many of the different foods, but I am going to push my way through every food truck, no matter how hard that may be...lol. It's a great place for people to try the meatless way of eating. Please give it a try!
