2022 Sponsorship Package
Become a Sponsor
We are excited to announce Halifax VegFest 2022 will take place on Sunday, October 23rd at the Light House Arts Centre. This fun-filled event celebrates healthy, sustainable, and compassionate living by sharing the benefits of a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle with our community.
VegFests have become well-known festival events in many North American cities as people become aware of the positive health and environmental benefits of a plant-based lifestyle.
Partnering with Halifax VegFest means increased exposure for your organization, direct sales, and access to a large demographic of motivated consumers. Attendees come to Halifax VegFest to purchase new products, eat delicious food, learn from presentations, and enjoy a community atmosphere.
Sponsor Benefits
Becoming a sponsor or exhibitor at Halifax VegFest is an opportunity for you to receive widespread promotion for your business and interact with new customers directly. This event will allow you to showcase your products and services to over 2,500 attendees. This is not your average trade show. You will gain exposure to a growing population of motivated consumers interested in plant-based products and healthy living.
Below you will find everything you need to know about partnering with Halifax VegFest and what is included in your package. Our team has expertise in event planning, markets, small business, and the local veg community. We have been organizing this event for many years and are committed to making this a positive and profitable experience for our sponsors and exhibitors.

Attendance
Halifax VegFest attracts a diverse group of individuals and families from Nova Scotia and the Maritimes who have a common interest and curiosity in vegan and vegetarian living, health, wellness, activism, and environmental sustainability. While the pandemic prevented us from hosting our normal festival in 2020 and 2021, our 2019 event was our biggest year yet with over 3,000 guests and 55 local exhibitors.
In 2021, we stayed connected with our community by presenting the Halifax VegFest Support Local Box. At a time when businesses were struggling, we offered a specially curated box of VegFest goodies, jam-packed with exhibitor products, coupons, prizes, and more, receiving excellent feedback from our business partners and customers alike. This year, we are more than ready to reconnect with our community for Halifax VegFest 2022.
“It’s easy to understand why so many folks attend VegFest: the calibre of exhibitors is high, the presentations on stage are entertaining and informative, and the energy of the festival is so overwhelmingly positive.”
Seth Graham, Owner, Springhouse
“It’s great to see this type of festival continue to expand, generate awareness, and gain more support for such a worthy cause. I look forward to the next VegFest!”
Deb Wilson, VegFest Attendee

Marni Gent, sponsor, Nova Scotia Humane Society
“Representing my business at the Halifax VegFest was a hugely successful experience. The event was very well attended by community members and I had the opportunity to engage with many potential new customers. The products I had for sale sold out fast, and the foot traffic at my restaurant increased a lot that day. I’m looking forward to being involved again this year!”
