Snack Off

Join us for a friendly snack competition at the Connaught Open Street urban park.

Whip up your best homemade vegan snack, or pick up your favourite local store-bought snack if you’re not in the mood to cook. Then we’ll share in the feast, sample everything, and vote for our favourite bites!

We’ll have prizes for multiple categories, including the Umami Bomb (the best savoury, rich, or deeply satisfying snack) and the Sweet Tooth (the best sugary, sweet, or irresistible snack)!

Please label your snack with its name, ingredients, allergens, and any other information you want to share.
