Welcome to the seventh annual Life Is Beautiful festival taking over Downtown Las Vegas Sept. 20 – 22. If you’ve never been to a LIB before, now’s the time to come and check it out. For the first time ever, the festival has an entirely vegan area in addition to a handful of vendors serving up some vegan options.

Without further adieu, here’s your vegan food guide to Life Is Beautiful 2019.

The Farm Stand

We’ve partnered with LIB to curate The Farm Stand, a nightly pop-up featuring Las Vegas chefs and restaurant creating vegan eats and even using some locally-sourced produce from Desert Bloom Eco Farm. Come hang with us from 5 ’til the food runs out at The Farm Stand, located near the Huntridge Stage (where you can catch acts including King Princess on Friday; local performer Zack Gray, and Banks Saturday night; or Phantogram on Sunday) and only a quick skip to the Downtown Stage where Festival headliners including The Black Keys and Vampire Weekend are setting up shop.
