Held in conjunction with World Environment Day, Planet Bethesda features chefs from the Capital Region serving up their most cutting-edge, creative, and delicious plant-based foods. In additional to the chef’s tastings, festival activities include a plant-based pie eating contest, live entertainment by DJ Soul, an interactive children’s area, beer garden, canine courtyard, and a petting zoo featuring animals from Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary. Planet Bethesda is hosted in beautiful Elm Street Park, just a two-minute walk from the Bethesda Metro Station.
