Ok, those were the fairs. Now we get into the iffy area of: is it a popup? Or is it a fair? Either way, it’s a vegan event!
Vegan Lot
Vegan Lot is a weekly pop up event on Wednesdays, with several vegan places participating, including Donut Friend! If by some chance you don’t know what Donut Friend is, it’s one of the best donut shops in Los Angeles! Vegan Lot goes from 5 to 9 every Wednesday, at The Other Door in Burbank. It’s free to enter!
