Oh howdy and welcome to Vegan Chicago!

We are the oldest and largest vegan-focused meetup group! Founded in 2002 and run by long-time vegan and animal rights activists we have extensive experience and knowledge with a passion to share. We are a vegan support group that provides connections and resources for being vegan in Chicago!

Here at Vegan Chicago you won't find any goofy asterisks inside of words and you won't find any dubious fad diets or gurus being hawked. We take care of our members and provide them unadulterated pure vegan awesomeness.

We welcome anybody regardless of their veganositude but don't take kindly to vegan policing or vegan trolling. We're all here to have a good time and learn more about this vegan thing so what are you waiting for? Join up!

For more information about what veganism is or what we do here at Vegan Chicago please check out our About page.
