A local vegan restaurant and a public health organization have joined forces to bring the first annual Vegan SoulFest to Baltimore City on Oct. 25. This festival is to engage people in conversation about the vegan lifestyle in a way that is culturally sensitive and takes into account the whole range of socioeconomic levels in the city.
For many residents, conditions like poverty, food insecurity and poor health are an everyday reality. The striking health disparities that exist in low-income neighborhoods in Baltimore are due, in large part, to the lack of information about proper nutrition and how to make healthier lifestyle choices. In an effort to address these pressing issues, the Better Health, Better Life organization and The Land of Kush restaurant have teamed up to bring Vegan SoulFest to Baltimore. The festival will take place noon to 5 p.m., Oct. 25 at the Downtown Cultural Arts Center, 401 N. Howard Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.
With an exciting lineup of dynamic lecturers, interactive cooking demonstrations and an informative panel discussion about vegan living, anyone attending Vegan SoulFest will walk away with a better understanding of what veganism is about and how they can begin making healthier, more conscious choices in their everyday lives. Whether people are already vegan, have been thinking about becoming vegan or are just curious about what all the vegan buzz is about, this is the festival to attend.
The Land of Kush inspires patrons to feed their spirits and celebrate a new way of life with healthier food, proclaiming “You won’t believe it’s veggie.” For more information, visit vegansoulfest.com or call 443-863-8652.
