The first-ever Fairfax Veg Fest takes place Sunday, April 14 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. in the parking lot of the Northwest Federal Credit Union located at 250 Spring Street, Herndon.

The free event showcases 60 exhibitors focused on the benefits and education of a plant-based lifestyle for health and benefits to animals. With live music, cooking demonstrations and a line-up of seven world-famous speakers there is something for everyone.

Speakers Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the best-selling author and star of the documentary, "Forks Over Knives"; Dr. Jim Loomis, Director of the Barnard Medical Center, former team internist for the St. Louis Rams football team and the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team; and others will be on hand.

"The purpose of this event is to give people an opportunity to learn from and ask questions of those who have already seen life-changing results from plant-based eating... Those attending the Fairfax Veg Fest will also find information that will help them… make simple, easy changes to adopt a more heroic lifestyle that saves commoditized animals who cannot fight back when their lives are being taken. For those interested in environmental issues, there will be information showing that reducing demand for animal-based products could have immensely positive benefits for our planet," stated event organizers.
