Vegan Block Party

Vegan Block Party markets itself as "The Ultimate Vegan Festival" and the attendance numbers back up the tagline — the touring event draws thousands of attendees annually across a rotating lineup of US cities, with 2026 confirmed stops in Orlando (7 February) and Memphis (18 April) plus additional dates expected to roll out through the year. The flagship Orlando edition at Luminary Green Park in downtown's Creative Village has become the de facto headquarters.

The format is a full block-party street festival rather than a trade show or expo — expect live music across multiple stages, dozens of food and drink vendors, lifestyle and fashion booths, fitness activations, and a crowd that skews young, Black and Brown, and culturally plugged in. The Orlando edition has added pre-festival activations including a morning Run Club and after party (also on 7 February), giving fitness-minded attendees a way to earn their evening plates. Memphis takes over the grounds near IKEA Memphis on 18 April for a shorter 1-5pm day edition that emphasises family-friendly programming.

Ticket pricing varies by city and tier. The Orlando flagship typically runs general admission around $20-25, with VIP tiers reaching $75-100 for early entry, dedicated lounges, expedited food lines and complimentary drinks. Kids under a certain age enter free (typically under 12 — confirm on the city-specific ticketing page). The festival invests heavily in curating Black vegan entrepreneurs and restaurants, and that's a defining feature — expect menus from BIPOC-owned vegan brands that are harder to find at predominantly white vegan events.

Beyond Orlando and Memphis, Vegan Block Party has historically expanded to additional cities announced throughout the year, often mid-sized Southern and Midwestern metros underserved by existing vegan festivals. Practical tip: buy tickets in presale — prices increase as dates approach and the most popular tiers (VIP and early bird GA) sell out.
