Singapore Vegan Festival 2022 is a culinary exploration of healthy sustainable food options and aims to pave the way for a socially-conscious dining future.
Vegan devotees, take note. Singapore Vegan Festival is back again this year, and the fourth edition of Singapore’s most important vegan-focused event may be its biggest yet. Singapore Vegan Festival 2022 will take place on 27 August 2022, and looks to feature an impressive lineup of local and international chef masterclasses, informative panel discussions, networking sessions, interactive workshops, as well as a plethora of vegan food, drink and shopping experiences – all in one location at the Raffles City Convention Centre.
While last year’s festival was a hybrid of physical and virtual events due to the ravages of the ongoing pandemic, Singapore Vegan Festival 2022 will be wholly live. This year there’s a strong focus on sustainable healthy food options, and also aim to spotlight food innovations for the future.
Key highlights of Singapore Vegan Festival 2022 at Raffles City Convention Centre include:
Chef Masterclasses
Visitors can look forward to live masterclasses and demonstrations by local and international chefs who will provide their individual insights into a vegan lifestyle.
