Try Vegan PDX

🌿 Picnic Potluck in the Park 🌿

Join us on June 20 for an afternoon of vegan food, community, games, and connection at Laurelhurst Park!

This gathering is especially meaningful as we honor the life and legacy of Sarah Kramer. Many longtime vegans discovered some of their first favorite recipes through her cookbooks, which helped make vegan living more accessible, fun, and delicious for countless people. In tribute, we invite you to bring a dish inspired by one of Sarah's recipes (though any vegan dish is welcome).

We'll also be playing a playlist Sarah created for her supporters and fans, sharing stories, enjoying good food, and spending time together in community.

📍 Laurelhurst Park – Picnic Area B
📅 June 20
⏰ 12:00–3:00 PM

Bring:
🥗 A vegan dish to share
🪑 A blanket or chair
💧 Water bottle
🎲 Your appetite for fun (we'll have lawn games and non-alcoholic beverages available)

This event is free to attend and everyone is welcome. If you'd like to help support this event and future low-cost community gatherings, donations are always appreciated through PayPal or Venmo.

We hope you'll join us for a beautiful afternoon of food, friendship, and remembrance. 💚

We are thinking about trying to bring back Vegan Prom this year - maybe in May sometime. We are thinking Regency theme, but are open depending on what venue will work best.

Would you all be into attending Vegan Prom this year? For those who have never been it is basically a themed dance party, sometimes with refreshments and sometimes with a raffle.

Like this post or comment below and let us know! This will help us decide what size venue we should try and reserve. :)

Hey all!

We had our annual retreat today for a couple hours and have some fun things planned for you this year.

We are also planning to bring back a couple events that haven't happened in years!

We also recently came across some photos from events from 10+ years ago and will be sharing those photos in albums in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned!

Throwback to October 5 when we hosted AromaKind at Jupiter NEXT. It was a perfect day filled with beautiful scents, new friends, and delicious food.

Thank you SO MUCH to all the amazing vendors who participated. And another huge thank you to the volunteers who helped make this possible!
