The World Vegan Day was established on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Vegan Society UK and since 1994 vegans around the world come together not only to celebrate at street fairs, potlucks, gatherings and vegan tastings, but also to raise awareness for animal rights on a day, which also happens to be the Day of the Dead.

This year's World Vegan Day also marks the 70th anniversary of the term "vegan". The festivals welcome vegans and non-vegans and the rapidly growing interest in plant based nutrition and animal-free and cruelty-free products is obvious
.
Amy Cottrill, who started the Pittsburgh Vegan Day celebrations says, “The first festival was held last July and the response was overwhelming. We had to move to a bigger venue because we had 500 people show up in a venue suited for 150. It was amazing."

Some of the festivities on Saturday, November 1st, 2014 in U.S. cities:
