“We were overwhelmed by the turn-out and community support last year despite the blustery cold weather, and humbled by the media attention and national recognition, including a mention in PETA’s listing of Detroit as one of the Top 10 Vegan-Friendly Cities.” says John Batdorf, event manager. “We are really excited to offer the second annual event to the city of Detroit, and help maintain momentum within the growing vegan community, which is among the most dynamic in the country,”
