The Veggie Taste has launched Vegan Soul Sunday, a free monthly event that brings together plant-based cuisine, holistic education and connection every first Sunday in Atlanta. It takes place from noon to 4 p.m. at New Life Presbyterian Church, 6600 Old National Hwy, and features an all-vegan marketplace, as well as holistically oriented speakers focusing on wellness, nutrition and mindful living. 

The Veggie Taste is a long-standing leader in Atlanta’s plant-based community and celebrates 16 years of producing vegan festivals and markets. Founder Nyemay Aya says, “I’m really excited for this event because hosting it in a church banquet hall allows church attendees to connect with vegan chefs and health and wellness companies they wouldn’t normally encounter. It creates a welcoming space for people who are curious about changing their eating habits.”

The Veggie Taste also collaborates with Plant Based Drippin and the Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia to host Vegan and Friends, a free weekly meetup every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Atlantucky Brewing, located at 170 Northside Drive SW in Atlanta. The website describes Vegan and Friends as “bringing together the city’s best plant-based food, creative makers, live vibes and unforgettable energy.” Admission is free.
