ThanksLiving Feast and Celebration

Date/Time
Saturday, November 13, 2021
5:00pm - 7:30pm

The food and the people are always wonderful at this event. We look forward to having you join us!

At ThanksLiving we celebrate the ways human and non-human animals resist oppression while enjoying delicious food, music, spoken word, a game, and compassionate community!

This year’s event will involve in-person food pickup before the event in the Twin Cities, a vegan potluck in Saint Cloud, and in-person dining of a catered meal at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. This will be followed by a virtual gathering that folks from all locations can participate in.

The online event is completely free. Pre-registration here is required. Use the same link for event entry. Can you volunteer at this event? Sign up here to help.
