When you give your donation at the front entrance, let them know you would like a tax receipt and they will ask you for the necessary information to get it issued and sent to your email address.
  • Is your event weather-dependent? What happens if it's raining?
    Our event is happening - rain or shine! We have a great outdoor area and a wonderfully large indoor area as well. We are also tough and a little rain is not going to stop us from having the best time ever at VegFest!
  • Can I bring my dog?
    Yes and No. Outdoors: Yes, we have an outdoor area as part of the festival that you can bring your pup to. Indoors: No. VegFest loooooooves animals... but unfortunately, only service dogs are allowed indoors at the Westbank Lions Community Centre. Note: Please do not tie up your dog outside unattended while you explore indoors.
