Thank you all for making the first ever Oakland Vegan Beer & Food Festival a hoppin', poppin', super good time! Clearly the response exceeded our wildest dreams/expectations and was pretty overwhelming on the vendor's side of things. We learned so much from this first time and want to thank all of you for your patience and enthusiasm. To those who waited two hours for food, THANK YOU for hanging in there with us and for being total sweeties about the whole situation.
We are overjoyed that there was such a positive response to this event even with the crazy long lines. We can't wait to begin planning next year's with way more vendors, more space, better organization, etc.. Now that we know to expect so many people, we can plan accordingly!
Thank you Curbside Creamery, Timeless Coffee Roastery and Bakery, & S+M Vegan for participating in the inaugural year! You are all amazing and we love you!
Thank you CommonWealth Cafe & Pub for putting together a banging selection of beers & ciders! We wish we'd had time to drink some!
Thank you Rocket Dog Rescue for bringing the CUTEST PUPPIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD to the festival yesterday.
Thank you Classic Cars West for allowing us to fill your space with hangry vegans for an entire day! 1st Ever OAKVEGBFF wouldn't exist without you!
And just one more time to the foxy folks who came out to support the first ever Oakland Vegan Beer & Food Festival -- we love you and we can't wait to thank you by organizing a much smoother event next year! Stay tuned!
