The Life Is Beautiful festival, returning to Downtown Las Vegas September 16-18, has announced this year’s culinary lineup of more than 70 chefs, bartenders, restaurants, food trucks and more set to participate in the fall event.

The homegrown festival might be best known for its musical headliners, but it has always maintained a prominent presence of local food and drink purveyors. “We are beyond appreciative of the incredible chefs, mixologists and culinary professionals in our community who help us bring a uniquely beautiful experience to our attendees,” Sharee Macy, LIB’s director of food and beverage, said in a statement.

Among the special programming offerings: Cocktail School, with interactive seminars and tastings curated by Bryant Jane of Starboard Tack and hosted by Gene Samuel of Peppermint Hippo and Joy Figueroa of Herbs & Rye; the Pizzeria, a new offering with specialty pizzas presented by the Vegas Pizza Fest and Good Pie owner Vincent Rotolo; and the returning Omakase Cantina curated by Secretburger’s Jolene Mannina featuring different chefs throughout the weekend.

Participating restaurants and food trucks this year include Night + Market, Shake Shack, Café Lola, Afters Ice Cream, Cousins Maine Lobster, the Black Pearl, Custom Pizza Truck, Bazaar Meat, China Poblano, Kusa Nori, Echo & Rig, Mabel’s BBQ, Pizza Rock and many more.
