VegFest Comes to Santa Cruz

January 13

Fans of our own Solaire Restaurant + Bar are sure to find something to love about the upcoming Santa Cruz VegFest! Taking place less than two miles from Hotel Paradox on Saturday, April 11, at Boardwalk’s Cocoanut Grove, this veggie-inspired festival brings the whole community together to celebrate the benefits of a plant-based, cruelty-free, environmentally-sustainable lifestyle.

Last year’s VegFest brought over 5,000 attendees, and this year aims to be even bigger with 100 exhibitors, free food sampling, live music, notable speakers, kids’ activities, and more. Whether you wish to get involved with local non-profits or sit back and enjoy some tasty vegetarian eats, there’s certainly something for everyone.

Plus, Cocoanut Grove is just a six-minute bike ride away, so you can get in the spirit of the event and save gas with one of our Blix Electric Bike rentals. Free tickets with optional donations are still available.
