It's that time of year again for vegetarians, vegans, anyone concerned about the future of our planet, or people who are just simply passionate about eating healthily, to discover new foods. This is the go-to event for plant-based and vegetable-loving locals and expats.

Immerse yourself in the plant-based lifestyle 

VeggieWorld is not just for those who are fully committed to a sustainable, cruelty-free, plant-based lifestyle - it's a weekend that inspires and welcomes anyone curious about veganism or people who simply want to try something a bit different and pick up handy tips from experts, chefs and producers.

Europe’s largest and oldest vegan trade fair returns to Zurich, on its circuit of 30 European cities in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Denmark, Hong Kong and China. Try out some vegan dishes, learn about producers and products and get a glimpse of what a sustainable future might look like.
