If you’re headed to Grant Park for this year’s Lollapalooza, the last thing you have to worry about is finding good meatless food to eat.

The music festival is known for incorporating both green and charitable gestures to the Chicago community, such as refurbishing city monuments and helping to create parks in the city, including the inner city areas, as founder Perry Farrell told Access Hollywood.

There’s also a farmers market west of the Buckingham Fountain with items such as organic fruit and granola to support local farmers. This year there are numerous vegetarian and even vegan food choices, like vegan ice cream from Temptation Frozen Desserts produced by Chicago Soy Dairy offered at the Chow Down South Food court in the park.

Also in the South court is Old Towne Smokehouse offering a black bean burger, Lee Concessions selling a vegetarian platter containing a vegetarian egg roll with vegetarian rice and noodles and Crescent Foods offering vegetarian wraps.

Chow Town North features Burrito Beach’s grilled vegetable burrito, Salud Tequilla Lounge’s Black Bean and Corn Tamale or Guacamole and Chips, Goose Island Brewpub’s Falafel and Rockit Bar and Grill’s White Bean Hummus with pita and vegetables.

This year’s festival features big acts like Lady Gaga and The Black Keys in the lineup.
