It is set to be a family-friendly event with under-16s granted free entry.
Visitors can expect a variety of cooked foods, pies, cakes, chocolates, sandwiches, and salads.
There will also be beauty and skincare products, candles, cheeses, jewellery, crafts, healthy and sweet treats, clothing, drinks, juices, smoothies, and free samples.
Victoria Bryceson, festival organiser and founder of Vegan Events UK, said: "I started organising events 10 years ago to promote veganism.
"At Vegan Events UK, we bring the best of vegan living to communities across the UK.
"Our festivals offer a one-stop destination where you can discover amazing plant-based products, support small family-run businesses, and see just how delicious, accessible, and varied vegan living can be.
"Join us at our exciting Glasgow event and explore the vibrant world of compassionate living – from vegan food and delicious cakes to sustainable fashion and animal welfare charities.
"Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, curious about plant-based food, or simply want to enjoy some delicious food or ethical beauty and fashion, everyone is welcome."
The festival also provides the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and attend expert talks on the vegan lifestyle and nutrition.
Highlighted stalls include Miracle's Mission, a non-profit animal welfare charity working with sick, injured, and disabled animals worldwide.
Their mission is to provide safety for animals in danger, educate on the needs of neutering both pets and strays, and rehabilitate and re-home dogs in need, often with disabilities, in the UK.
There will also be a stall selling Bo's Book, a vegan cookbook featuring simple, easy-to-follow recipes with illustrations of dogs from Miracle's Mission, with all profits from the book will aid needy dogs at Miracle's Mission.
Standard entry to the festival costs £5, but under-16s go free.
