At Kale-A-Rama, kale rules the day! The day-long festival will be a celebration of KALE with an emphasis on veganism, going green, and having fun! The “feel” of the festival will be somewhere between Burning Man, Woodstock, and your local vegan festival - in other words, anything goes, especially if it somehow relates to kale!
More than 30 kale-tastic vendors and exhibitors will be on hand, including Everlasting Life Cafe, Brad’s Raw Foods (kale chips!),the Vegetarian Society of DC, Green Vegan Networking, A Well-Fed World, The BootCamp Girl, Gina Mai Denn's Pottery, and more.
Kale-A-Rama 2013 attendees will be entertained by Bushmaster Blues featuring Vegan Gary Brown, Christina Van Norman and The Kale-Tastics, Chris Colvin on didgeridoo and Rakhel Israel on drums!
