We will also have a selection of books on vegetarianism, environmentalism, religion, and social justice available from Lantern Books. There will be yummy vegan food to sample and buy (see below).

There will be live art and music performances, a kombucha-making demo, children’s activities, a silent auction, raffle, massage table, gift vendors, and unpredictable shenanigans galore!
