VegOut! is returning to Tucson for it’s third annual vegan festival at the Whistle Stop Depot from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 11.
If you’ve been wanting to expand your palate and become more acquainted with the vegan lifestyle, here’s your chance to take part in the trend. The VegOut! festival just wrapped up a tour that traveled to Portland, Oregon and back down to Phoenix.
The event is not only about skipping out on meat, it’s celebration of what it takes to live as a vegan. There are going to be guest speakers and chefs, fitness talks, live music from local bands and a DJ, giveaways, and the option to purchase vegan clothing, skin care, and artwork.
Food and beverage vendors will be out to sell, serve, and sample healthy vegan alternatives. The full list of participating vendors for VegOut! has yet to be released.
General Admission “Split Pea” tickets are $15, per person, the VIP “Avocado” tickets are $30 each, and children under the age of 12 years old get in for free with the “Lil’ Sprouts” ticket.
The VIP “Avocado” ticket cannot be purchased at the gate, and includes one drink token towards Kombucha or any other beverage, SWAG, a raffle ticket, and a “Super Swag Bag Giveaway.”
The Whistle Stop Depot is located at 127 W. Fifth St. For more information on the festival and to pick up your tickets, visit vegoutevents.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
