September 2024
Hi! This is the second edition of the Vegan Events Around Town Guide.
Thank you for subscribing to my little newsletter. I wanted to share the events I find because I’m passionate about keeping LA vegan restaurants open, create community among vegans, and encourage more people to eat plant-based. I’m a designer, vegan home chef, and huge fan of living in LA, so creating little helpful tools like this is a special and fun thing for me to spend time doing with my time.
Thanks for reading and please comment if you have feedback or more events to add.
You can visit laveganguides.com to see my other little projects and follow me on instagram @laveganguides to find out about more events. I’ll be posting there and updating this newsletter when I can.
If you’re looking for places to eat, check out and save my Google map: LA Vegan Guide.
