Over the last few years the vegan movement has seen a surge in�popularity, thanks to a number of high profile converts and�documentaries such as Cowspiracy bringing the message to the�masses. Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen DeGeneres,�as well as bloggers and wellness ambassadors such as Ella Deliciously�Ella Woodward and Beverly Lynn The Vegan Chef Bennett are helping�to encourage this trend towards a plant-based diet.
In Australia, over 10% of the population now identifies as vegetarian or�vegan, with countless others taking steps to reduce their meat intake�through initiatives such as Meat-free Mondays. In America the number�of vegans has more than doubled in the last three years, with 2.5% of the�population following a vegan diet, up from 1% in 2009. The sheer number�of Vegan Festivals around the world can attest to these trends, with�literally thousands of events taking place each year across the globe�and and World Vegan Day being celebrated on November 1st.
The annual Bali Vegan festival is an international event, attracting�vegans and vegetarians from all walks of life and helping to fuel and�grow this all-important movement.�Last year, the inaugural Bali Vegan Festival took�place over two glorious days filled with music,�yoga, dancing, ethically responsible food,�eye-opening lectures and various�workshops.
Dedicated to promoting a sustainable and�cruelty-free way of life, the festival is entering its�second year.�The festival unites world-class vegan chefs, yoga�teachers, healers, musicians, comedians,�environmentalists and vegan lifestyle enthusiasts�from all walks of life and all across the globe.
Taking place in Ubud, Bali, between October 7-9,�2016, the festival will be held at Paradiso (Ubud)�and at an outdoor venue just south of Ubud.
