Vegan Street Fair North Hollywood Street Festival Event Production 2019

A full city-block street festival on Chandler Boulevard featuring staging, sound, food tents, outdoor seating, rides, and family-friendly entertainment.​

The Vegan Street Fair returned to North Hollywood on March 23–24, 2019, transforming Chandler Boulevard between Tujunga and Vineland into an immersive street festival experience filled with plant-based food vendors, live entertainment, and family-friendly attractions. Our team had the pleasure of helping bring the event to life by producing the infrastructure that keeps a festival running smoothly, including staging and sound for announcements and music, high peak food tents for vendors, shaded outdoor seating, and a wide range of rides, interactives, and inflatable attractions for families attending the event. Projects like this highlight the kind of street festival event planning we help produce throughout Los Angeles, where large public events require experienced coordination, reliable equipment, and thoughtful layout to keep the festival flowing smoothly. The result was a vibrant North Hollywood street festival where food, entertainment, and community activity filled the entire block.

Food Vendor Tents and Festival Booth Layout at the Vegan Street Fair​

High-peak festival tents lined Chandler Boulevard with vegan food vendors and guest service booths

One of the highlights of the Vegan Street Fair is the incredible variety of plant-based food vendors that line the festival route. For the 2019 event in North Hollywood, high-peak festival tents created a clean and organized vendor layout along Chandler Boulevard, giving food vendors a professional place to serve attendees while keeping the street festival easy to navigate.

​The tents were positioned throughout the festival to create a natural flow for the crowd as guests explored the different food booths, vendor displays, and information areas. Visitors could move comfortably from one vendor to the next while still having plenty of room to gather, browse, and enjoy the atmosphere of the street festival.

Outdoor Seating and Guest Comfort Throughout the Street Festival

Shaded tables and seating areas gave guests a place to relax and enjoy food from the vendor booths

With dozens of vegan food vendors serving dishes throughout the event, providing comfortable places for attendees to sit and enjoy their food became an important part of the festival layout. Seating areas were arranged along the street with round tables, folding chairs, and shade umbrellas, creating welcoming spaces where guests could pause, eat, and spend time with friends while still being surrounded by the energy of the festival.

These seating areas were positioned near the vendor tents so guests could easily grab food and find a nearby place to sit without leaving the main flow of the event. From the tables, visitors could watch the activity happening throughout the street festival, including family entertainment and inflatable attractions set up nearby, which added to the lively atmosphere.

Crowd Flow and Festival Layout

How the street was organized to support vendors, entertainment, and thousands of attendees

With multiple attractions, vendor booths, and activity areas spread along the route, the layout of the festival played an important role in how guests experienced the event. The street was organized so that vendor rows, entertainment areas, seating sections, and walkways all worked together without creating bottlenecks or overcrowded areas.

Wide walking lanes allowed visitors to move comfortably between vendor booths, while larger attractions like inflatables and slides were placed in dedicated zones where families could gather without blocking the main pedestrian flow. Seating areas were positioned nearby so guests could relax, eat, and watch the activity happening around them.
​
This type of layout is a key part of street festival event planning, where balancing vendor visibility, guest comfort, and entertainment zones helps keep the event moving smoothly throughout the day.

The festival layout placed larger attractions along one side of Chandler Boulevard while keeping a wide pedestrian walkway open for guests to move comfortably through the event.
