Vegandale is your ultimate all-vegan destination, uniting food, music, and art for an unparalleled experience. This year, we’re touring five major cities across North America.

Our mission is to demonstrate the moral imperative of a world free from animal exploitation, challenging stereotypes by showing that a vegan world looks remarkably similar—just without the use of animals.

Join us in reshaping perceptions and creating a world where animals are left the f *ck alone.

Absolutely, Vegandale is a completely vegan event.

NO – if you received an email stating otherwise, please disregard it. That information was incorrect. See the “Tickets & Payments” FAQs to learn what methods of payment we are accepting this year!

Prepare for an array of global food and lifestyle vendors! Attendees will have the exciting opportunity to be among the first to sample the latest vegan products, some of which are not yet available in stores. Indulge in the finest vegan comfort food, craft brews, as well as wine and spirits.

Stay connected for vendor updates by following us on Instagram and Facebook!

While we generally advise against bringing children due to large crowds and amplified sound, children aged 12 and under can enter the general admission area free of charge. However, all attendees, including children, require tickets for VIP access, and there are no discounts available for children in this category.

Absolutely! The event is set to take place rain or shine. Vendors will be covered in the event of rain, ensuring that the show goes on without interruption. Please note that no refunds will be provided due to poor weather conditions.

If you are a member of the press inquiring about a media pass, please email media@vegandalefest.com and include the publication you represent and/or relevant social links with your request along with the city you would like to attend.

If you are an artist/representative of an artist and are inquiring about performing, please email entertainment@vegandale.com. Be sure to include social links with your request, performance fees, and the city(ies) of interest.

Certainly! Tickets will be available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis, but at an increased price. To ensure availability and avoid disappointment, we encourage customers to secure their tickets in advance.

Your e-tickets will be emailed to you the week of the event. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see them in your inbox. If they aren’t in spam, please contact us at info@vegandale.com for customer service support. Be sure to include your order number and/or the email address used at purchase.

Typically, the error message is triggered when your bank flags the transaction. To resolve this, we suggest two proactive measures:

1. Try using an alternative card for the transaction.

2. Try another device, browser, and/or incognito mode

3. Take a moment to contact your bank and inform them about your attempt to make a transaction, kindly requesting their assistance in processing it smoothly.

It’s likely that only one of the transactions will transition from processing to being posted on your statement, while the others disappear. Before reaching out to us, please verify that both charges are posted and not just in the processing stage.

You can pay with debit, credit, Apple Pay, and Google Pay at the event.

All tickets will be emailed the week of the event, even if you’ve already received them previously. If you receive your tickets the week of the event and they still won’t download or the link won’t open, please contact our customer service team at info@vegandale.com for assistance.

Due to the nature of events, we are unable to offer refunds or deferments in these cases. However, you are welcome to sell or give away your tickets, as the name on the ticket does not need to match that of the ticket holder.

NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.

Tickets will not be refunded in case of inclement weather.

All ticket sales are final. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent those prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from www.vegandalefest.com. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and Vegandale Festival may, in its sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using www.vegandalefest.com.

For the most convenient parking just steps from the fest, our Official Parking Sponsor, Millennium Garages, has a special online-only 12-hour daily rate at both their Millennium Park Garage and Millennium Lakeside Garage! Discounted parking is available only with advanced purchase through their site here.

Please note that parking is not managed by Vegandale, and availability may be limited. While we cannot guarantee a parking spot, we highly recommend using public transit or ride-sharing services. If you decide to drive, please be aware that parking is at your own risk.

Vegandale Chicago will take place in Grant Park, Butler Field. All ticket-holders will enter through the entrance at the Corner of E Monroe St. and S Columbus Dr. Attendees with VIP tickets will follow signage at the entrance to enter their designated lines. Click here to view the location on Google maps.

If you have a Saturday or Sunday VIP ticket: your VIP wristband and complimentary drink tickets can be picked up at the main entrance when you arrive.

If you have a Weekend VIP ticket: your VIP wristband MUST be picked up Saturday, June 21st, otherwise you will not receive your complimentary drinks (and no refunds will be issued for unclaimed drink tickets). So even if you’re only planning to attend on Sunday—or can’t make it on Saturday—we strongly recommend stopping by Saturday to collect your full VIP perks.

If your ticket includes drink tickets, they can be used for both alcoholic and non-alcohoilc beverages at the bar. Please note that drink tickets cannot be used at vendor booths.

Kindly note that maps only become available the day before each event.

Attendees are kindly requested to refrain from bringing outside food and beverages (except sealed water), coolers, tents, and other structures to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Given the loud music and large crowd, Vegandale can be a stressful and overwhelming situation for animals so we ask that you please leave your pets at home as well.

Feel free to bring essentials such as sealed water, a picnic blanket, chairs, and backpacks or bags to the event.

Please note that, due to select city restrictions, we may not be able to offer refillable water stations. However, you can find water available for purchase at our two water bars situated in the park.

DJs will be spinning and keeping the party going all day long at Vegandale, so get ready to dance and vibe with your fest crew!

Unfortunately, no. Due to the loud music and sizable crowd, Vegandale can be stressful and overwhelming for animals. For the well-being and comfort of all attendees, we kindly request that you leave your pets at home.

Service animals, however, are permitted.

Re-entry is permitted for some ticket types – please see the ticket page for more information.

To do this, simply click BUY tickets in the right-side menu, choose your ticket type, and proceed to checkout.

VIP areas will have seating provided. For GA ticket holders, we recommend bringing a blanket for comfortable seating. If you have accessibility needs, you are welcome to bring a chair.

Yes, portable toilets and hand sanitizing stations will be available for attendees.

We implement various measures to prevent the formation of lines, though it’s worth noting that certain vendors’ popularity may lead to occasional lineups.

While we strive to accommodate diverse dietary needs, specific options cannot be guaranteed. Generally, some vendors at the event offer choices suitable for specific dietary requirements, and when communicated in advance, we tag them on our map with search terms like GF and NF. However, please be advised that cross-contamination is possible and we urge those with food allergies to communicate this to vendors before placing their order.

No, the person who purchased the tickets does not need to be present when the rest of the party enters. However, each member of the party must have their own separate ticket to scan upon entry.
