The 2nd Annual Event Includes Plant-Based Food and Products, Film Screening, Fitness, Meditation, Kids’ Activities, Live Music & Much More
WHAT:
U.S. Veg Corp is bringing the California Vegetarian Food Festival back to Los Angeles to showcase the latest in cutting edge plant-based food and products. The 2-day festival will be a showcase of 100% vegan innovation and goods, with revolutionary plant-based food and products, fitness, meditation and kids’ activities, film screening, vegan beer and wine, live music, and much more. Food vendors will be offering free samples as well as meals for sale. This year, the charity partner is Best Friends Animal Society.
A screening of the film, Walk with Me, a cinematic journey into the world of mindfulness and the Zen Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh, narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch and directed by Max Pugh and Marc J. Francis, will also take place during the festival at a separate ticketed event. Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, this visceral film is a close look at the global spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh and a meditation on a community who have given up all their possessions for a monastic life in rural France.
