What to expect from the first Vegan & Plant Powered Show

The two-day event will feature international and local celebrity cooks and chefs presenting live demos, as well as over 120 exhibitors showcasing the very latest products from food and drink producers and lifestyle brands in the vegan and plant-based industries from around South Africa and the world.

The Vegan & Plant Powered Show will include:

• The Plant Kitchen - The Celebrity Chefs live cooking theatre, which will include top international and local celebrity chefs and cooks in action as they demo fantastic vegan and plant-based dishes
• The great big vegan banquet – a three-course menu inspired by the show’s celebrity chefs, plus their anecdotes, stories and tales.
• Ethical and sustainable vegan and plant-based products and solutions.
• Creative and cutting-edge innovations and the very latest products.
• Pop-up restaurants.
• Celebrities, special guests, entertainment, unbeatable shopping, show offers and free tasters.
• An abundant selection of food and drinks.
• Mindful drinking cocktails and vegan wine walk.
• A VIP Luxe Experience – star treatment for visitors to help make their day out extra special.
• A Kid’s Plant Power Zone with activities to keep children entertained.

One of the show highlights will be the 'Plant-Power Talks' (on the ProVeg Stage), hosted by leading plant-based food and lifestyle organisation ProVeg International.

Says ProVeg director Donovan Will: "As the global move towards more plant-based diets and vegan lifestyles has been growing, South Africans are learning about the benefits of this change – the Vegan & PlantPowered Show is a great opportunity to accelerate this learning, and for the public to experience the best that the movement has to offer, and to find out more about the health, environmental and ethical benefits of moving towards a more plant-based diet. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity to sample and even learn to cook, tasty, healthy and sustainable food. Anyone with an interest in food, health, the environment or more conscious living, will benefit from attending the show."

The Vegan & PlantPowered Show is not only aimed at vegans and vegetarians but also flexitarians, reducetarians, sports enthusiasts, individuals who have compromised their health and those looking for healthier and more ethical lifestyle choices for themselves and their families.
