2022
Highlights

Starting in 2022, GNARFEST began its journey of bringing people together to celebrate delicious vegan food and raise money for good causes. The inaugural event held at the CORE food cart pods in Portland, OR was a resounding success with over 40 vendors and 500 attendees. It served as a testament to the growing popularity and demand for plant-based options in the culinary world.

Our first festival achieved more than just uniting people with good food - it also made a tangible difference in the community by raising over $4000 for Portland Mutual Aid, a local organization dedicated to providing support and resources to those in need. The outpouring of generosity from attendees and participants at GNARFEST demonstrated the power of coming together for a common cause.
