The Vegan Social , a weekly night market for fans of vegan and plant-based food and products, is relocating from Atlanta Utility Works in East Point for its first event at Westside Motor Lounge on Wednesday.
Produced by vegan lifestyle and apparel brand Plant Based Drippin , nonprofit organization the Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia , and outdoor vegan food festival the Veggie Taste , the Vegan Social aims to promote healthy lifestyles.
Joseph “PBD Grey” Rumph, host and organizer of the Vegan Social, and founder of Plant Based Drippin, calls the event a “kickback” that families and entrepreneurs can enjoy, with good food, room for kids to play and opportunities to circulate dollars within the Black community.
“It’s a vision for the community where everyone, vegan or nonvegan, can feel welcomed,” Grey says. “It’s about making healthy cool and giving us a spot where we could kick it.”
