“We created the PHX Vegan Food Festival to bring together the community and create more awareness and excitement for the vegan lifestyle. The event shines the spotlight on local businesses so they can showcase their menus and products to an audience that is hungry for more options. It’s also a great opportunity for those interested in adopting a vegan diet the chance to explore the many choices that are available in the Valley,” said Davisson Entertainment’s Founder, Daniel Davisson.
