About Florida Voices For Animals

Founded in 1989, Florida Voices for Animals is a Tampa Bay-based, nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal-advocacy organization that generates awareness of animal issues and educates individuals about how to make compassionate choices for animals. FVA also provides information about plant-based diets as a way to improve health while helping animals and the environment.

A Special Thanks

We would like to thank our vendors, sponsors, friends and the many vol-unteers who help us make this event happen every year. We especially want to thank our event co-organizers, Diane Koon and Marie Galbraith, who work so hard to organize this huge event. Special thanks also go to our other board members and committee members who have given many hours of their time to help: Suzanne House, volunteer coordinator; Trevor Chin,

technical support and set up; Kim Gronemeyer, food sample area coordi-nator; Ellen Jaffe Jones, social media support and exercise demo; Demetria Laousis, music coordinator and artist; Myriam Parham, speaker and cooking demo coordinator; Brittany Martinez, children’s area coordinator; Stacey Kranendonk, cooking demo assistant; and Samantha Genske-Condon, raffle coordinator.

Welcome to our 7th Annual Tampa Bay Veg Fest! We are thrilled that

you chose to spend your day with FVA!

We hope that you will thoroughly enjoy yourself and take advantage of the mul-tiple opportunities to taste amazing veg-an food from a record number of local food vendors, cooking demos, and our free food samples!

Please take time to listen to our incred-ibly diverse and knowledgeable speak-ers, enjoy beautiful and relaxing music played by local talented musicians, and stroll through the park to visit and sup-port our eco-friendly vendors.

If you have little ones with you, you won’t want to miss our fun and cre-ative children’s activity area with lots of things to do! Don’t forget to visit our ani-mal sanctuaries and perhaps open your heart and home to a rescued animal

that needs a forever family.

Last but not least, please visit both our Veg Fest Central and Florida Voices for Animals booths to pick up informative brochures and recipes, as well as to buy merchandise and raffle tickets that support this amazing event.

Your purchase of a raffle ticket supports one of our participating sanctuaries.

Then, at the end of the day, take the time to read the materials and reflect on the benefits of a plant-based diet. You will learn what you can do to become healthier, help the environment, and help our fellow creatures who share this earth with us.

Thank you and enjoy your day!

FREE VEGAN FOOD SAMPLES!!! Sponsored by Rollin’ Oats

Possibly the best part of any Veg Fest is all the free vegan food!! Tampa Bay Veg Fest won’t disappoint! Whether you are a seasoned vegan or just curious about

plant-based alternatives to the animal products most of us grew up eating, you will surely be delighted by the vast alternatives available for you to try today! Through-out the day we will be rotating product samples that will tempt your taste buds and inspire you to try new recipes in your home. For instance, we will be serving Sweet Earth benevolent bacon and veggies burgers, grilled Field Roast Chao cheese sandwiches, Go Max Go candy bars, Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food cookies, Go Raw Sweet Spiralini Bites, and simple two-ingredient muffins anyone can make! Try all these and much more at the Free Vegan Food Samples tent at the east end of the park. Don’t forget to bring your appetite!
