Getting to Twin Cities Veg Fest

Public Transit

Metro Transit is a great way to get to Union Depot. There were free passes available for the 2025 festival.

We will provide free shuttle service, supported by donors like you, from the Kellogg Street entrance of Union Depot to the festival itself, making it easy to come via the Green Line or bus service to Union Depot.

We want to thank Metro Transit for providing free, environmentally-friendly rides to the festival through their sponsorship!

We will have bike racks on site at the festival entrance, 151 W Water St., St Paul, MN 55107.

Weather

In case of rain, the festival will continue. Severe weather is always a possibility at an outdoor festival. To ensure everyone’s safety we want you to be prepared. 

Festival staff, volunteers, park staff and police will notify all on the festival grounds if there is a severe weather issue. We will also post on our social media.

• Volunteers and exhibitors will take shelter in vehicles or the pavilion.
• Attendees will take shelter in vehicles or take our shuttles to Union Depot.
• Lightning will require a 30 minute break in the festival.
• We will not be able to refund exhibitor fees, as festival costs (portable restrooms, rental equipment, sound equipment, shuttles, permits, etc.) will remain the same regardless of weather conditions.
• We will use social media @tcvegfest (https://www.facebook.com/tcvegfest, https://www.instagram.com/tcvegfest/to let attendees know when it is safe to return.
