How Life Is Beautiful Lives On Even After The Festival Ends

The Life Is Beautiful 2014 festival recently welcomed 90,000 attendees to Downtown Las Vegas for it's second annual music, food, and art fest on Oct. 24 - 26. The event is part of an annual movement to inspire people to live life to the fullest, to overcome issues and to fight against bullying as well as to learn, love and grow as individuals. The festival overtook 15 blocks of Downtown Las Vegas and, according to the Life is Beautiful festival folks, it accomplished it's goals in bringing a peaceful event where people respected one another and were there for more than just an epic musical lineup.

"We've Expanded this year in every way possible, but among the most meaningful to our team was the heightened integration of three of our four core pillars: food, art and learning," said festival founder Rehan Choudhry. "Music is always a big draw -- and this year's acts knocked it out of the park -- but to see guests coming to the site specificaly to taste food from our award-winning chefs, hear speeches from world-class lecturers, and soak in the beauty of our murals and installations means a lot."
