The 9th Vegan Life Festival is back in the heart of Athens this weekend, taking over Technopolis City of Athens in Gazi on 4-5 October 2025. Doors are open from 11:00 to 23:00 on both days, and entry is free. Under the motto “For earth’s sake”, this flagship vegan event invites locals and visitors to check out talks, hands-on workshops, and Greece’s biggest vegan expo spread across the historic industrial spaces at Pireos 100.
Why will Vegan Life Festival Athens draw crowds this weekend?
It’s the biggest vegan meet-up in Greece, so you’ll see food lovers, families, and people who care about the planet all mixing in one place. The long hours and free entry mean you can pop in, taste something new, then stick around for a talk if you like. And it’s not only about food; the schedule points to everyday choices that help your health, animals, and the environment, which is why the event keeps striking a chord with the local crowd.
Who is the event for?
Already plant-based? Great. Just curious? Also welcome. The festival is for all ages. Families will find plenty for kids, while home cooks, students, and professionals can sit in on talks and demos to build knowledge and skills.

Back at Technopolis for year nine, the festival sticks to what works and adds a bit of polish.
