A very Big Thank You! We are so grateful for Veg Jaunts and Journeys to donate a gift certificate to our compassionate cause raffle for this years "Vegan Holiday Bazaar."
Traveling as a vegan, it’s thrilling to explore new destinations that are friendly to our lifestyle, meeting fellow international vegans, and discovering vegan food in places that you’d never expect to find it. I’ve never booked a group tour, because I didn’t want to waste money on food I chose not to eat, or give my money to attractions and activities that exploited animals in any way.
So I decided to create my own group

Compassionfest presents "Vegan Holiday Bazaar." Please join us for a vegan winter wonderland experience, featuring local animal-friendly food vendors, crafters and product providers. Stop by our welcome table to find out more information and how you can help our chosen compassionate causes. Some proceeds of this year's winter market will benefit the well-being of our Turkey friends. This is an opportunity to shop for local, eco-friendly, cruelty-free products while getting to know your community. Three Whole Days of inclusiveness, celebrating people, animals, in harmony with the land.
