Texas Veggie Fair – Reverchon Park

Quick look rating: ⁵⁄₅ Food & Quality, ⁴⁄₅ Service and ⁵⁄₅ Price
Great fest to try out veggie snacks and that type of all sorts! I love trying out all kinds of sorts of foods and knowing that these for the main part are healthier than other options!
The only down side is the parking. NOTE: You may want to park a bit away and walk down the Katy trail, but do go in or with a group. Being in a group is a fun way to sample a number of items.
From one food truck I tried a vegetarian hotdog, it was fantastic. I wish I had picked up their business card. A number of food trucks had their items priced affordable.
The fest had a DJ playing some great tunes. Beer truck near by and a great exploratory attitude with a fun food adventure and I was set!
I’ve been going for several years now and it’s always on my radar to go this fest next year as well! See you there!

Wonderful event for the health conscious… whether you are vegan, vegetarian or just like to dabble in the lifestyle from time to time… there’s something for everyone! Excellent venue too in the scenic/​shaded Reverchon Park. There were a ton of food vendors & even food trucks serving up samples & meals for purchase. My favorite booth was the Holy Kombucha! The cucumber Thai basil brew was so spectacular I bought a big jug to take home! They also had folks selling jewelry, natural soaps/​lotions & some incense. Beautiful day for it too. And best of all it’s free! Bring the doggies & fam. Looking fwd to returning next year. Arrive early for a decent parking spot.

I found the event to be altogether completely charming, healthful and adorable. We came upon it by accident, trying to visit Reverchon Park simply to let my kid play and were surprised to find this free event had taken over.
Parking was a nightmare in surrounding Turtle Creek, but once you got that taken care of and made it into the park, it was fantastic. I love that there’s no admission. I love that there are plenty of greens left open for picnics and play. The stage has live music in the back, the playground is open for the kids. There is every vegetarian and vegan food trailer option you’d expect to find, juices galore, as well as ciders, beer, wine and organic sodas.
I look forward to the next one and will get more adventurous with cuisine next time!

I was really excited to attend the Texas Veggie Fair, and my friend was looking forward to it too. My friend overheard a coworker talking about it and she chimed in that she was going to be attending too. This person said «Why? You’re not a vegan. It’s for vegans only.» Hmmm, I wasn’t aware vegetables were off-​limits to non-​vegans?
This should have been a big clue as to what we were about to get ourselves into, but both of us could not get past the absurdity of this snobby vegan.
I had seen the website. I knew there would be speakers, demos, vendors, music, etc. I still had pictured in my head a farmer’s market, of sorts. I pictured lots of booths showcasing VEGETABLES, recipes for vegetables, samples of veggie dishes, ideas on how to use veggies I was not familiar with… That is NOT what this was. This event should be renamed to indicate that it is filled with vegan stuff.
There were lots of booths giving samples of their vegan snacks and products, but I couldn’t purchase on site. Instead they handed me a coupon and told me which store or website to go to.
Lots of food trucks and tents where I could purchase victuals, but I didn’t see any tables or benches where I could sit down and enjoy it.
At least there was a Beer Garden, where we could throw back a cold one (vegan-​friendly, of course). Oh, except they couldn’t serve until noon. We had a big old conversation with the guy about it being Sunday and rules-​schmules and blah blah blah. Then we stood around waiting 20 minutes, contemplating which beers we’d try first, second, etc. At 12:01 we make our way up to the counter and are informed that he doesn’t have any beer available because the truck broke down on the way there. Seriously??? You didn’t think to tell us this half an hour ago!?! He claims he did. I must have had a carrot stuck in my ear. Except there were no VEGETABLES**.
**This is not entirely true. There was a lone booth that was offering CSA signups. They did have a handful of vegetables on their table.
Overall, I’m very disappointed, mainly because the name of this event is misleading.

This is an amazing event, so much fun! We have gone for the past 2 years and it has been a blast. Great food, people, vendors, music, what else can you ask for?!! Everyone should go! Oh and no meat!!!

This is such a great event! Delicious food (vegan corny dogs OMG!), great speakers, interesting exhibitors, music and activities for the whole family — and it’s free! We all benefit from eating less meat — whether it’s to help animals, protect the environment, or improve our own health. This is a great event to learn more or get started!

Wow and wow! There isn’t too much else I can possibly say about the Texas Veggie Fair.
Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or an avid meat eater, there is something here for you. I must admit though, if you haven’t embraced the plant-​based lifestyle, this festival will surely work hard at changing your mind.
From food trucks to live music, pet adoptions to booths with homemade jewelry — the Texas Veggie Fair is fun for people of all ages. Reverchon Park is a great place to have it as it is spread out wide but come early — parking can get tough.
Your dogs are welcome to come along for the fun too but I would suggest they stay home as your hands will be way too full with goodies. The best part? It is entirely free! Not charging admission makes it a great place to browse and enjoy the scenery even if you don’t end up buying anything!

I really enjoyed myself at the Veggie Fest. First time to attend, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
The park itself is lovely– lots of room & well-​maintained.
The Fest was busy with lots of participants. The hubster couldn’t attend so I was solo, so I took my time talking with animal rights advocates who had booths.
I also tried some tasty vegan food at the food tents! Many options between the tents & food trucks.
I recommend the event to both herbivores and carnivores– veg-​heads are super friendly so everyone is welcomed!

This was a great event! I had no idea how popular it was. I volunteered with Duck Team 6 (a great organization, I suggest everyone looks them up) and we had a booth right at the entrance, so it was great for everyone to see what we are all about. There was dozens of booths with vegan products, clothing, jewelry, food, treats, etc. The event was clean, organized and a major success. My only complaint would be the parking but if the location doesn’t change next year then I doubt the parking situation will. I am looking forward to next year!

Vendors, food trucks, local businesses, animal rights organizations, crafts, special speakers & chefs, and a few entertainment options! Due to the growing population, this event has moved to Reverchon Park this year (2012).
The vegan food is unique, with options like: bahn mi’s, Korean tacos, Chinese dishes, temple food, a German plate, and corny dogs. With the exception of the Vitamix samples, we believe all other food and drinks are vegan-​friendly. All food was definitely vegetarian-​friendly.
The festival is also kid and dog friendly. If you choose to purchase a few tickets, kids can jump in the air house or trampolines. There is also a free kiddie playground natural to the park.
We stayed for about an hour and a half and called it a day.
This is recommended for people who are open-​minded to trying different cuisines.
