VegLife Des Moines is excited to announce the return of our successful Vegan Summer Market series! We had such a great time in 2022 showcasing local small businesses, enjoying delicious vegan food, and building community with all of you.
Not all vendors accept cards, so you may want to bring cash along with your reusable bags. There are drinking fountains accessible for you to fill up water bottles and in the warmer months Cowles Commons turns on their fountains for you to dip you toes into or run through in you need to cool off!
We are still accepting vendor applications for future markets: https://forms.gle/aKKuhJ18z951DCno9
