Vegfest Vegan Thanksliving Potluck 2026

Vegfest's Vegan Thanksliving Potluck

Join VegFest for our third annual Vegan Thanksliving Potluck! Sunday, November 22, 2026, 1pm-4:30pm, in Boylston, Massachusetts.

Whip up your favorite Thanksliving dish and gather with like-minded community members to commemorate the holiday in the vegan way - by promoting compassionate living, reflecting on the truth behind the holiday’s traditions, and of course, eating delicious cruelty-free food. Besides a plethora of potluck dishes, we’ll have arts & crafts, music, a cash bar, and door prizes.

Tickets are required. Your ticket helps support VegFest’s work throughout the year -spreading plant-based living throughout New England. It also helps us cover a portion of the rental costs for our beautiful venue - Bay Path Barn, where we are able to accommodate 100+ guests.

Located conveniently in central Massachusetts, Bay Path Barn is a newly remodeled, rustic barn with all the charm of a classic homestead. Hardwood floors, round tables, elegant atmosphere, and Autumn decor will surround our vibrant community members as we share a delicious meal.

Guests will have the opportunity to draw a unique turkey portrait for 46 Million Turkeys, an art project that aims to create an artistic representation for each of the 46 million turkeys eaten in the United States on Thanksgiving Day every year. 46 Million Turkeys will join us at the event and supplies will be provided to take part in this community art project.
