Atlanta, GA – June 26, 2024 – Georgia Vegfest is back at the Atlanta Expo North on August 25 for an inclusive family friendly fun festival.

Education has been a staple at this event and that’s why we are including a full day of educators during the festival, featuring septuagenarian athlete, Dr. Akil Taher, author and vegan athlete Robert Cheeke, nutritionist and author Gigi Carter, and brain fitness and certified functional wellness coach Judy Hahn. The variety of topics featured will include health, climate, and the animals. The speakers start at 11:00am and go through the end of the event.
