The first-ever Vegan Camp Out at Glenworth Valley from November 24-26 exceeded expectations despite some challenging weather. Organisers Cynthia Gigleux and Abdullah Azhar shared that, despite the rain, the event had a fantastic atmosphere, leaving attendees inspired and deeply connected.
“Putting together the Vegan Camp Out required a lot of hard work and dedication,” said Gigleux. “There were times when we lost sleep, especially when the weather forecast predicted rain. However, seeing the event come to life and experiencing the incredible atmosphere throughout the weekend made it all worthwhile.”
The camp-out aimed to celebrate the essence of vegan living, attracting a diverse audience eager to explore plant-based lifestyles, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and revel in a community united by a shared ethos.
“We’ve received really positive feedback from participants, which is heartening,” Gigleux added. “It reflects the hard work of our team, the resilience of our attendees, and the success of our vision for the Vegan Camp Out.”
The event featured engaging workshops, talks from prominent figures in the vegan community, and a diverse selection of plant-based cuisine. Live music, social activities, and a vibrant sense of community prevailed throughout the weekend.
Organisers are already making plans for future editions of the event.
