MADISON, Wis. -- Brat Fest is getting a lot of attention this weekend, but on Saturday a smaller festival showcased all that can be done without meat or dairy products.
Vilas Park played host for Vegan Sausage Fest, where vendors made delicious and creative vegan-friendly dishes. Attendees could sample plant-based foods in a traditional festival setting with plenty of options to choose from.
Organizers said about 1,000 people attended, with social media used to promote the event.
"The last two months we've been putting a lot of social media content out there, and really promoting it," organizer Beth Skogen said. "The turn out is so much better than I thought."
Two farm sanctuaries were on hand taking donations, and anyone who donated $10 was entered into a raffle for a $50 Food Fight restaurant gift card.
Um.😄😄
If it’s vegan, it’s not sausage.
Fam came over. We had burgers, sausage and dogs. Oh and salad.
