Vegan hot spot and Best of the Bay-winner Golden Dinosaurs celebrates its three-year anniversary with a three-day party this weekend. Though completely plant-based, the Gulfport eatery serves deli-style goods that even won over a meat-eater’s heart.

On Friday, Aug. 6, fans can get a $2 Updog—kosher-beef inspired Chicago dogs with a snappy casing—all day until they’re gone.

A patio party is happening from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7 with plant-based vendors like Nah Dogs, Gabby Bakes and Shelter Farm Sanctuary, joining the lineup along with St. Pete’s Green Bench Brewing Co., Liquid Death water and DJs from Emo Night Tampa

The party—happening at 2930 Beach Blvd. S in Gulfport—wraps up Sunday with free donuts available with any purchase, plus pint-sized mimosas—just saying.
