​Friends Not Food Vegan Picnic

​Mission Statement:
A free event to bring Las Vegas vegans together to create community, friendship, and alliance for the voiceless.

​Event Info:
This is a Bring Your Own Vegan Picnic, which means it’s not a potluck. You are only expected to bring vegan food and drinks for yourself. This is a safe space for vegans to meet, so please ensure all items you bring are vegan-friendly.

​Games will be available to play at your table, but feel free to bring any additional games or activities you’d like to share.

​What to Expect:
From 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM, we’ll begin with check-in. There will be open seating, and everyone will receive a name tag and meet new friends.

​From 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM, enjoy eating, mingling, and getting to know those around you

​At 7:15 PM, we’ll gather for impact statements and closing remarks. This is when we’ll calculate the impact of our vegan picnic, which tracks how many animals, how much water, and how many carbon emissions we saved, and recognize our sponsors.

​Clean-up will begin at 7:45PM as the event concludes, and we’ll make sure to leave the Quad exactly as we found it.

​FAQs:

​Do I have to be vegan to join?
This is a vegan event for vegans to meet like-minded people. Wherever you are on your vegan journey, you’ll be welcomed if you’re coming with vegan food and an open mind. *includes vegan curious people

​Do I have to bring something?
No, there’s no requirement to bring food since this is not a potluck. As an outdoor event, we suggest bringing water. Join us just to meet new friends!

​Do I need a ticket to join?
Tickets are free and help us gauge attendance so we can prepare for seating. We also use them for our impact calculator, which tracks how many animals, how much water, and how many carbon emissions are saved through our vegan picnics.

​Can I bring my pet?
While we love animals, they are better left at home for this event.
