For us plant-eating folk, October is one big month-long celebration. As Ecorazzi previously reported, October 1st is World Vegetarian Day and kicks off Vegetarian Awareness Month. To end the cruelty-free holiday, we pure vegetarians raise a glass and celebrate World Vegan Day on November 1st.

But you don’t have to be vegan or even vegetarian to participate in the fun. Anyone can party hard on World Vegan Day simply by abstaining from animal products for 24 hours! Simple, right? Of course you could always kick it up a notch by baking vegan cookies, wearing a pro-vegetarian t-shirt, passing out leaflets, or simply posting something groovy on your blog!

This year I’m spending World Vegan Day at the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival, but on November 3rd I’m continuing the celebration and renting out a space in midtown, inviting 40 of my nearest and dearest and hosting a screening of Earthlings – a great documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and co-produced by Persia White. Rory Freedman, my very favorite Skinny Bitch, has even agreed to write an extra special introduction for the event. How can anyone not heart Rory?

So the only question remaining is: how will YOU celebrate World Vegan Day? A picnic? A dinner party? Maybe a special meal at your favorite vegetarian restaurant? Leave a comment below and tell the world how you’re getting involved!!

    In London at our local health food store Oasis we will be encouraging non vegans to try vegan foods, we will be giving away 64 gifts – one for every year of vegan history.

    Our London Nutritionist has challenged Pizza restaurants to put a healthy vegan option on their menus.

    Our friends in Glasgow are celebrating their recent Best vegetarian restaurant award with half price World Vegan day menu at the 78, mono and stereo – with a special World Vegan day all day meal ticket for only £10.

    There is also a new Vegan magazine being launched for world vegan day Off the Hoof that will revolutionize vegan reading matter shaking off the fusty of vegan magazines to Stopping well shy of a Russell brand / Johnathan Ross controversy but challenging nonetheless.

    Lush stores are going vegan for the day – are you?
