World Vegetarian Day is Oct. 1: How to Celebrate, Chance to Win Money

October 1, 2013 Updated: July 18, 2015

World Vegetarian Day, Oct. 1, is a perfect time for a vegetarian meal–even if you’re not a vegetarian.

Partake of fare that is completely meatless on this Tuesday as a way to connect with your vegetarian friends and family.

Other ways to celebrate include letting people know that October is Vegetarian Awareness Month and telling them why you are a vegetarian.

The organization behind the month is having a contest: if someone who isn’t a vegetarian goes this whole month without meat, they could win up to $1,000.
