LA’S LONGEST RUNNING SINGLE DAY VEGAN TRADITION
Los Angeles’ biggest vegan potluck event of the year, a tradition for more than 25 years. Hundreds of people attend annually.
Come share some delicious food, connect with beautiful people, and enjoy the outdoor environment. There will be music, live performances and an open mic. Everyone is invited to bring chairs/ blankets/ tarps (as most of the picnic tables in our area are used for potluck dishes), drums, other musical instruments, a frisbee or a ball to toss. It’s a great place for children. Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.
