World Vegan Day is an annual event celebrated on 1 November, by vegans around the world. The Day was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then President & Chair of The Vegan Society UK to commemorate its 50th anniversary.
2012 marks the 68th anniversary of the term 'vegan' (and thus the verbally clarified concept of 'veganism' and of the establishment of The Vegan Society).
