Being vegan while at a festival? Is that even possible? People barbeque everywhere, a lot of fastfood is offered and isn't 'being vegan at a festival' extremly inconvenient?
1. Yes, it is possible! and
2. No, it is actually way easier than you might think!
I visited the first festival (Deichbrand 2012) with 3 omnivore friends and even that was pretty easy. For the BBQ I brought some tinfoil and tofu sausages and vegetables. And even the fastfood-booths offered quite a lot of different vegan foods: falafel, indian rice-vegetable-stir-fry, fried asian noodles with vegetables and a lot more. If you travel with omnivores, take care of the food-shopping! If you visit the festival for the first time you could take a back-up pack of couscous with you to make sure you'll definetely have enough to eat if you plan to have fastfood there.
This year it was even easier for me. The 3 girls I travelled with are all vegetarians so I didn't really have to take care of the food-shopping. We ate mostly bread, but had spitted vegetables and corncobs for the BBQ, apples and salad. The offered vegan fastfood was barely existing, but there was one booth where they offered delicious falafel, pakora and dal (lentil soup)! If you love indian food as much as I do, THIS was the place to go, but, as far as I know, unfortunately no other vegan foods were offered.
So to sum it up in one sentence: Being vegan on a festival is almost as easy as being vegan at home!
More vegan travelogues will follow! :)
