What we’re about
Delaware Valley VEG is dedicated to helping the Delaware Valley eat more plants for all the reasons: The animals, the environment, and health.
We welcome everyone from committed vegans to "veg-curious" folk. Through our programming, we strive to to build community, educate, increase access to vegan/plant-based food options, and HAVE FUN!
We host or participate in a ton of events, but our favorite annual events are Phoenixville VegFest and Diner en Vert.
Join the Del Val Veg discussion on Facebook too!

See all- Phoenixville VegFest! Saturday 8/2! (Or rain date 8/3 - Rain or Shine!)Reeve's Park, Phoenixville, PA
Come for the day! Make Phoenixville your home for the day. Come early and grab a spot to set up picnic blankets/chairs in the other half of the park. Be one of the first to come to the DVV tent at 11am to get a swag bag. Spend the day eating and drinking and hanging out. Take a nap in the shade between mini meals. Play a pick up game of volleyball or badminton. Take a free yoga class at 2pm. Buy some raffle tickets. Play our nonprofit "bingo" game where you get rewarded for visiting our nonprofit vendors with free tickets to a special raffle only for nonprofit supporters. Shop. Hang out and digest some more while we clean up the rest of the park and then walk downtown and check out the cool "inside out" vibes of Downtown Phoenixville on a Saturday night when Bridge Street is closed and you're free to wander with a cocktail. Join us at the "after party" at Great American Pub for even more vegan grub.
By the way, all the favorite vendors are back: Vegan Treats, Honeybear, Paranormal, Bitchy Vegan Homo (from Ohio), Trailer Trash, Cheezy Vegan, Oh My Cod (from FLORIDA), Bridge Street Chocolates serving up refreshing fruit drizzled with decadent vegan chocolate, Pirate Pete's soda truck - and many more. About 100 vendors total!
Be on the lookout for volunteering information coming soon. We need a ton of help to make VegFest one of the best vegan festivals in the area - especially during set up and clean up. To thank you for helping, volunteers get a free VegFest t-shirt and a swag bag without having to line up for one.
