October is one of India’s busiest months for vegan food, ethical living and sustainability events. This 2026 guide brings five verified dates together so you can plan a market visit, a festival weekend or a professional conference.
Event details can change, so use the official link before booking travel. You can also see the newest additions on the Kindness Media community events calendar.
Namu Recommends Vegan Market: The Festive Edit
3–4 October · Chamara Vajra, Bengaluru
The Festive Edit is a fully vegan market for food, gifting and conscious lifestyle brands. It is the most immediate date on this list and runs through Sunday, 4 October.
Check the latest timings and vendor updates on Namu Recommends’ official Instagram, and find it on our community events calendar.
Sustainability Summit & Awards 2026
16 October · The Leela Palace, Bengaluru
This is a broader sustainability conference rather than a vegan-only event. It may still be useful for plant-based founders, climate professionals and advocates working on food systems, packaging and responsible business.
Review the programme and registration details on the official summit website. If you attend, ask how food procurement and animal agriculture feature in the climate conversation.
Ekatva Festival 2026
24–25 October · Sunder Nursery, New Delhi
Ekatva brings together plant-based food, music, wellness and conscious living in one of Delhi’s best-known public spaces. It is a good choice for people who want a social introduction to vegan living rather than a formal conference.
Use the official Ekatva Festival website for tickets and programme announcements, and find it on our community events calendar.
Green Plate Mumbai 2026
27–28 October · Valecha Hall, Juhu, Mumbai
Green Plate focuses on plant-based food, organic produce and sustainable products. For curious eaters, it is a chance to try new brands in one place; for businesses, it is an opportunity to meet consumers and other founders.
Find visitor and exhibitor information on the official Green Plate website, then check the Kindness Media community calendar.
World Vegan Day Celebrations 2026 – The India Conclave
31 October–1 November · Heritage Khirasara Palace, Rajkot
This Gujarat gathering carries the calendar into World Vegan Day. It is positioned as a national vegan celebration and community conclave, making it especially relevant for advocates, creators and plant-based businesses.
Follow the organizer’s official announcement for booking updates, and consult the Kindness Media community calendar.
How to get more from a vegan event
- Confirm the date, venue and entry rules on the organizer’s page before travelling.
- Carry a reusable bottle and bag where venue rules allow.
- Ask vendors about ingredients, allergens and whether products are fully vegan.
- Talk to animal-advocacy groups as well as food brands; veganism is about animals, not only shopping.
- Choose public transport, carpooling or a shared ride when practical.
- Share thoughtful feedback with organisers so future events become more accessible and inclusive.
Why these gatherings matter
Vegan events make compassionate living visible. They give people a low-pressure place to taste unfamiliar foods, meet advocates and see that choosing animals does not mean giving up flavour, culture or community.
Whether you attend one market or all five dates, bring a friend who is curious. A welcoming meal and an honest conversation can do more for animals than a perfect slogan.
