ZeGeVege sustainable living festival in Zagreb

Overview

The 18th edition of the ZeGeVege sustainable living festival has commenced at Europski trg in Zagreb, running from September 4 through September 6, 2026. Organized by the non-profit association Prijatelji životinja, the event operates daily from 9:00 to 21:00.

Building on its focus on animal protection, sustainability, and plant-based diets, this year’s festival features exhibitors from Croatia and abroad offering vegan food, cruelty-free cosmetics, and sustainable innovations. Visitors can sample items such as vegan burgers, falafel, and fermented nut cheeses. The program includes educational discussions led by nutritionists, activists, and athletes on topics including animal rights, ecology, and feminism. International guest Michele Borzoni is scheduled to present the ‘Silent Spring’ project and exhibition.

Expected guests include Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević and Orsat Miljenić, head of the Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia. The festival continues to utilize a refreshed visual identity and scenography designed by artist and illustrator Ivana Mrčela, using character-driven animal illustrations to promote the view of animals as individuals rather than commodities.
