Going to the Simply Raw Festival in Canada

by lilla on August 18, 2008

Yay – time for a little road trip! I’ve decided to attend the Simply Raw Annual Festival in Ottawa, Canada in a few weeks. Despite Canada being relatively close to me, I’ve NEVER been there before, so I’m very excited about this new adventure.



It’s a 7 hour drive – totally doable. The annual gathering is a non-profit, free-admission community raw vegan festival with some great presenters like Brian Clement, the Boutenkos, Paul Nilson, etc.

Matt Monarch of Raw Food World, who I met this past Saturday will be there along with his fiancee Angela Stokes of Raw Reform. Also raw triathlete champion, Hetta Wintersteller. I’m really anxious to meet here and learn about her diet. There’s also a film festival, contests and classes. Montreal is just 2 hours from there, so makes sense to swing by there too, eh? Looking forward to hitting the road and filming in real time!

If you’re reading this and planning on attending the festival, drop me a comment. Hope to see you there!

    So weird. Your Comment Button text was white or really light so it took me a while to find it. It might just be my browser–Firefox. Does anybody else see it?

    Something tells me your road trip will have better food than my last one. I’ve never been to Canada either. Maybe you’ll do another live, Lilla on the scenes report? I’ll stay tuned.

    Hi Christy,
    I see what you mean about the comment button. I checked my layout palette and can’t figure out how to fix that. Too lazy to check the html right now – Thanks for the heads up!

    Definitely raw live reports! :)
