Springfield IL Events Calendar
Springfield Vegan Chef Challenge
Join us for an entire month of BRAND NEW vegan options all over Springfield, IL!
During this time, restaurants throughout the Springfield area will feature special vegan menu items. Diners have the opportunity to go out, enjoy meals, vote, comment, and post photos of the delicious vegan meals they have ordered.
This month-long event brings vegan and non-vegan diners out to sample the vegan offerings from participating restaurants, showcase the culinary talents of the chefs, and introduce the restaurants to an expanded clientele.

Are you ready for Project Animal Freedom's most exciting Springfield event yet? Mark your calendar for our second annual summer potluck, now named our Freedom Potluck! Join the fun and share your favorite vegan food with people of all diets and backgrounds at Wellman Financial Services. One of our PAF members, Brandon Wellman, so graciously allowed us to use his office space for our event this time so we don't have to worry about getting rained out.
"Animal Freedom" is in our nonprofit's name because we believe that all species have the right to be free from harm. Our freedom potluck celebrates both America's independence day and our mission to inspire Springfield to support animal freedom, one delicious vegan meal at a time.
We will provide environmentally-friendly plates, bowls, cups, utensils, Beyond Burgers, and drinks. We strongly encourage everyone to bring a dish or a snack to this community-building event. Please ensure all ingredients are free from animal products and be ready to state common allergens that may be in your dish (wheat, soy, peanuts, etc.) if asked. We will have fun games as well to play so bring the whole family.
To help cover our supply costs, all donations are greatly appreciated. We can not wait to see you and your family on August 19th at 5 PM!
