:) The SimplyRaw Festival & Raw Lifestyles Film Festival
September 5-7, 2008
Central Park, Ottawa, Canada

The 3nd annual raw vegan festival in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, will take place on Saturday Sept 6th & Sunday September 7th, 2008. This year we are delighted to include the Raw Lifestyles Film Festival from LA to the lineup on the evenings of Friday Sept 5th and Saturday Sept 6th. This full weekend event will feature a lineup of renowned raw speakers including Matt Monarch, Angela Stokes, Paul Nison, Dorit and many others. The festival will also include ongoing live raw food prep demos & workshops; a host of raw food exhibitors; and the highlight of the event - a raw vegan pie contest on the Saturday, and the first ever raw chocolate contest on the Sunday!

Last year's event was a great success, bringing together about 2500 people to this beautiful outdoor park setting. Everyone is invited to join us at this *free* non-profit community event.

The highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the raw pie contest and raw chocolate contest. SimplyRaw is now accepting entries! - no cooking allowed - All pies will be made using only fresh raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains.

This non-profit community festival is organized by raw vegan wife and husband, and Glebe residents, Natasha Kyssa & Mark Faul of SimplyRaw. They also host monthly raw vegan potlucks at St. Giles church in the Glebe, with a regular turnout of 60-100+ people.

Come out, bring a blanket, enjoy the festivities and indulge your taste buds with wildly creative foods. An unforgettable experience for all!
