Guests at a pop-up bar inside Bougie Bites at our Vegan Block Party in Overland, Missouri

🥳💚🎶 Thank you to the over 400 people who joined us on Labor Day weekend for our first annual Vegan Block Party at Bougie Bites!

Together, we savored vegan takes on American classics, including burgers, pancakes, ice cream, nachos, and more. We relaxed, partied, and refueled our souls for challenges and opportunities to come. And we celebrated vegan community while uplifting St. Louis’ newest vegan restaurant.

We provided a vibrant, joy-filled alternative to a traditionally meat-centric holiday, reaching over 26,000 St. Louisans and generating over 35,000 views between Facebook and Instagram alone. Our KMOV article performed even better, generating over 400,000 views and achieving a 1.46% click-through rate.

Each view represents a seed of compassion being planted in the minds of over a quarter million St. Louisans. These gentle reminders, small nudges, and mini motivators increase the salience of veganism in our community, slowly but surely inspiring diet change as veganism becomes more relevant, accessible, and attractive to fellow St. Louisans.

A special thank you to Bougie Bites for hosting our event and accommodating all 400+ guests, alongside our wonderful vendors who helped make this event so exciting and rewarding to attend.

Please join us again next Saturday at STL Vegan Market - September 2025!
