Welcome to the home of the Pittsburgh Vegan Expo & the ORIGINAL Pittsburgh Vegan Festival!

The Pittsburgh Vegan Expo & the ORIGINAL Pittsburgh Vegan Festival is the city’s oldest and longest-running vegan festival. It was established in the 90’s by Amy “Amethyst” Cottrill, who has spent all these years building up something the city really needed! We are proud to say we are the city’s original.

This event has taken place all over the city, and has moved to its current location at Monroeville Convention Center.

We also hold monthly vegan events in various locations around the city and beyond. See the Recurring Events section for details.

Our events support food and other businesses, artists, entertainers, healing arts & wellness, and environmentalism (such as our RE-Model Gala: a reuse-themed dance fashion show and wearable art contest), as well as many animal sanctuaries and other non-profit organizations.

Past Guest Speakers

Our festival has featured many prominent speakers, such as Dr. Neal Barnard of Pcrm.org; Dean Caliguire (former Pittsburgh Steeler, Pitt Panther and San Francisco 49er); Khama Worthy (UFC fighter) and more.

A savory focaccia made with pureed pumpkin in the dough then topped with shelled, roasted, and salted pumpkin seeds!Pumpkin focaccia is made in many different styles in Italy since pumpkins are grown throughout the country. Sometimes its sweet but usually savory, sometimes the dough is made with the pumpkin and other times its simply sliced and placed on top of a plain focaccia. 🇮🇹 Per la prossima speciale abbiamo la focaccia alla zucca! Una focaccia salato fatto di zucca frullato nell’impasto poi condito con i semi di zucca arrostato e salato!

A volte è dolce ma di solito salato, a volte l’impasto è fatto con la zucca e altre volte la zucca è tagliato e metterla sopra focaccia bianca.Got Ya Focaccia!
