Building the Event Program

A great variety of activities can be offered during a veg fest event. By building a diverse program with interesting and engaging activities, you will attract more of the community to attend. Look at examples of what other veg fests have chosen to offer. Below is a list of common activities you will see on the program:

• Speakers and book signings

• Cooking demonstrations

• Door prizes and raffles

• Movie screenings (for guidance on screening PlantPure Nation, refer to the Action Sheet: PPN Film Screening)

• Yoga and other fitness sessions

• Kids activities

• Live Music

Once the schedule is finalized, print the program so it can be distributed to the attendees on the day of the event. Typically, attendees like to pick up a hard copy of the program at the event in order to check the schedule of activities, see a map of the venue, review information about sponsors, and read speakers’ bios. The program should also include a note of thanks, acknowledging key people involved in the event.
