NLVegan Fair in the Laurenskerk

Over 50 stallholders ready with tasty vegan products and various non-food items will be present at the NLVegan Fair in the Laurenskerk on Saturday 7 September. There will also be activities such as inspiring lectures.

The event is an initiative of de Dutch Association for Veganism (NVV). The association raises awareness of veganism and makes veganism more accessible. The association has more than 4,100 members and over 125 volunteers.

"The NLVegan Fair brings the power of plant-based together under one roof," says event manager Tara Zijlstra. "With a diverse range of stands, cooking demos and lectures, we offer a place where everyone can discover how easy and delicious a vegan lifestyle is. It is an event not to be missed, both for the curious and for flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans."

The fair features more than 50 stands selling vegan food and non-food items. As a visitor, you will discover a variety of products: vegan clothing, shoes, accessories, cheese, cakes, chocolates, macarons, sports food, and much more. You can visit the caterers for all kinds of sweet and savoury treats. There will also be cooking demos, a creativity corner for children and a conversation area to have a chat or meet like-minded people.
