Some of us remember when it was new, and man, it’s hard to believe the Texas Veggie Fair marks its 10th year in Dallas.
But here we are, and here it will be this weekend.
It was previously in one of our prettiest parks, Reverchon, but they’re moving east to the Dallas Farmers Market. Either way, they’re bringing some things worth celebrating to those of us who love vegetables.
More than 120 vendors will be across the Farmers Market — not just the shed, but throughout other areas, too. You’ll find vegan food, cruelty-free products, animal rights and rescue organizations, yoga, kids activities and more.
A look at what else you’ll get at this year’s fair:
