Prizes and giveaways abound from local participating eateries during this year’s annual DTLA Vegan Weekend presented by DT Weekly, but the real reward is knowing the mind, spirit and tastebuds will be completely happy during this year’s cruelty free celebrations.

It’s official; there’s nothing like “going vegan” to help bring the downtown Los Angeles community together. DTLA Vegan Weekend is an annual three-day event that’s gained great momentum fueled by the community’s enthusiasm and willingness to publicly recognize a cruelty-free lifestyle by celebrating Downtown’s local businesses, vegan events, and farmer’s markets. 

This year, DTLA Vegan Weekend will offer a whole line-up of destinations and product specials to help DTLA Go Vegan!!

DTLA Vegan Weekend is an original concept and a first-of-its-kind community-driven event presented by Downtown Weekly. Other unique events produced by our community newspaper include DTLA Pizza Week, DTLA Burger of the Year, DTLA Coffee Week, DTLA Beer Battles, and DTLA Gray Pride Month.

This year Au Lac of Bunker Hill will be giving away two free 100% Vegan Meals to winners picked at random on the DT Weekly Instagram page @dtlaweekly

That means; no cheese, no dairy, no animal skins, no beeswax, and, of course, no meat. And we’re not against reposting your experiences on our social media pages for all the world to see. 

Last year, DT Weekly shared our DTLA Vegan event guide and newspaper articles with the help of local vegan businesses, celebrities, and an a-list of social media influencers. 

This year, we’ll do it again, plus we’re inviting everyone to share their experiences at several local Downtown Los Angeles destinations for a chance to win the title of “Vegan of the Year” and a special DTLA Vegan dinner for two.
