About us
San Francisco Vegan Society (SFVS) welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant, vegan diet and lifestyle. We promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle for ethical, healthy and sustainable living, and offer a community for people to meet, learn, exchange ideas and interact with others interested in compassionate living for a better world. Together we can make this movement grow and encourage a way of life that is better for your health, better for the well-being of animals, better for the environment, and better for humanity.

COMMUNITY NOTES:
SFVS Code of Conduct: We want everyone to have a great time at our events. The San Francisco Vegan Society Code of Conduct is our simple way of making sure everyone feels respected, included and comfortable. It’s a shared promise to show up with kindness, listen well, and treat each other with care. Together, we create a space where everyone belongs and thrives.
Group Organizer: As of June 3, 2025, SFVS became the organizer of this group. SFVS uses this Meetup group to share both Official SFVS Events and Community-Led Events. Only events that display the SFVS logo in the event image are SFVS-sponsored events. All other listings should be understood as community postings, not official SFVS programming. Community-led events are hosted by members or other organizations and are shared as a courtesy when they are related to veganism; they are not sponsored or endorsed by SFVS.
If you have questions about whether a specific event is SFVS-sponsored, please email [events@sfvs.org](mailto:events@sfvs.org) — we’re happy to clarify.

The New Parkway, 474 24th Street, Oakland, CA, US🎤Come sing on or off key for free at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland!
🥙Menu: https://www.thenewparkway.com/cafe/
🗺Getting There: The New Parkway Theater is located in the Uptown/KoNo section of Oakland, near the corner of Telegraph Avenue and 24th Street: 474 24th Street Oakland, CA 94612 They recommend that you come to the theater on foot, by bike, or public transportation if possible. They are close to several key bus lines (51, 1, 72), a six-minute walk from the 19th Street BART station, and have ample outdoor bike parking. In fact, patrons entering the theater carrying a bike helmet will receive a $1 discount (may not be combined with any other offers). They sadly no longer have a parking lot!! Street parking can be tricky but patrons are generally able to find parking within a four-block radius of the theater.
✨ No pressure, just good vibes, great songs, and community fun.
Karaoke Night 🎤 at The New Parkway is a fun, low-pressure night to sing, cheer, and hang out together.
Whether you’re ready to grab the mic or prefer to sing along from your seat, this is a welcoming space for all voices and comfort levels. Come solo or with friends, pick a song when you arrive, or just enjoy the show.
🎶 They use YouTube to choose songs, so there’s a wide range of options to pick from .
There’s no pressure to sound perfect — heartfelt, silly, loud, or shy performances are all encouraged. First time doing karaoke? Totally okay. The crowd is supportive, friendly, and here for a good time.
🍿 Food and drinks are available for purchase throughout the night, including beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options. We recommend arriving a little early to grab a seat and get your song in before the list fills. Very vegan friendly!
✨ Come as you are, pick a song, and have a great night.
We're so excited to see you here!Please see our Partiful link too to RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/ihl74oTMj6Lw1qT8cspT
