We need volunteers for our back-up venue and Market Day Sunday April 5th between 9am and 9pm. We have a variety of positions available. Texas VegFest has secured Distribution Hall on Sunday April 5th as its back up venue for Fiesta Gardens. If the case of inclement weather, we will move Texas VegFest Fiesta Gardens April 4th to Distribution Hall on Sunday April 5th and we will not have Texas VegFest Market Day. In the case of our usual weather (rain or shine), Texas VegFest Fiesta Gardens will go on and we will host Texas VegFest Market Day!
