The first potluck of the year 2026 is this Saturday, January 31! Whether you’re vegan curious or a new vegan or a long time vegan, this is a great time to meet up.
The Bengaluru Vegans potluck is free. There’s no registration necessary. Just drop in (see the simple requirements below). It’s open to vegans and non-vegans.
The Bengaluru Vegans potluck is an informal gathering of people who are vegans, recent vegans, interested in veganism or are curious about veganism. Meet new people, learn how to go vegan, learn about vegan living and vegan alternatives, discuss issues and strategies, enjoy good food, and have a good time with like minded people around. Bengaluru is the only city in India where vegan potlucks have been happening regularly like clockwork for more than a dozen years, connecting vegans and pre-vegans! *All* species are welcome, and you don’t have to be vegan to attend the potluck!

WHAT
If you’re attending the potluck for the first time, please read the following important information. If you need further help, send an email to [email protected] with your contact number and we’ll contact you to guide you and provide information. We *strongly encourage* first timers to do this so that you don’t miss it.
WHAT TO BRING
1. One or more vegan dishes/beverages of any kind to share. If you have purchased the food, please make sure there’s an ingredients list so we can confirm that it’s vegan. Companies change the ingredients in their products without notice, so kindly be careful. If you’re unsure, the best bets are fresh fruits and fruit juices (no honey).
2. Plates, glasses, bowls, forks, spoons and water for yourself. Please avoid plastic bags and non-recyclable packaging, plates, cutlery, etc. These are harmful for animals as well as humans.
HOW MUCH TO BRING
Bring enough for about five people to have a good meal. We share everything.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. 🙂
The Bengaluru Vegans potlucks/meetings happen on the last Saturday of every month, except in the month of December when we may have it on the second or third or last Saturday.
