You don't want to miss the DC Vegfest! Last year's was amazing and this one looks even better. It really does have something for everyone, from longtime vegans to the "veg-curious." The speakers are entertaining and engaging and the food is delicious. I'm especially looking forward to trying Dama's vittles and Vegan Treats--YUM!
