The festival closes with the launching of Vegans of New England ( VoNE), a co-partnered project of Compassion Arts Festival, New England Veg Fest and CompassionFest. The VoNE project will present a live-streamed event focused on Gratitude in Action, for uplifting and connecting plant-based community, as well as for exploring the work of redefining the traditional Thanksgiving 'holiday' and re-examining what it means. The event hosts an inspiring line-up of farm animal sanctuaries, cooking demos, interviews, and recipes from vegan kitchens and chefs, interviews, music, healing arts, advocates and artists sharing their work and stories of hope and inspiration for creating a narrative of healing and holistic nonviolence towards a more compassionate and just world for all.

You don't need to be vegan to attend - all are welcome!
