Another successful market despite many challenges!
😍💚🛒 Thank you to the over 500 attendees who joined us at our August market!
Like roughly half our markets so far this year, this market proved challenging:
The heat index was 107°. A storm rolled through and destroyed several tents. Vendors skipped due to the extreme weather. And over half a dozen other major events took place in St. Louis on the same day, including four large food festivals.
But we still found a way to throw a successful event where vendors enjoyed good business, we celebrated stellar vegan vibes, and we built a more vegan- and animal-friendly St. Louis—together!
A special thank you to our steadfast vendors and attendees who braved the hot weather to participate in our August market. We would also like to thank our sponsors—Carol House Furniture, Bougie Bites, Bombay Food Junkies, Sun Solar, Harvest Shreds, Seedz Cafe, Pieces Board Game Bar and Cafe, and Pearl’s Plant Kitchen—for continuing to make the market possible.
The market is a labor of love that has become a vegan awareness-raising powerhouse, generating over 1.5 million views and reaching over 310,000 St. Louisans so far this year alone. But we couldn’t do it without the hundreds of faithful supporters who show up, market after market.
Thank you for making this community event so vibrant, impactful, and joyous, and see you again at our September market!
