Kicking off today, Coachella is finally back after a two-year hiatus. The legendary music festival hosted in the California deserts is coming back ten times stronger. With headliners like Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, and more, people have swarmed to Southern California for the music. But this year, Coachella will be remembered for more than the jaw-dropping concerts and all-day parties.

Since Nic Adler of Monty's Good Burger took over as the two-weekend music festival's Culinary Director, vegan food has taken its place on stage. With over 20 vegan-friendly vendors at Coachella, plant-based concertgoers will be amazed by the abundance of tasty, affordable, and impressive vegan options available.

Now that Coachella is here, The Beet has compiled a list of many plant-based options at the music festival. Distinguished by areas, check out where to find the best vegan options.
