Vegan at Coachella? This Year’s Festival Has More Plant-Based Food Than Ever Before
This weekend, over 100,000 people will flock to California’s Colorado Desert for the famed Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival, known simply as Coachella. With two weekends packed with kickass musicians like Beyoncé, The Weeknd, and Eminem, as well as inspiring art installations, for many this is one of the most anticipated events of the year.
