Vegan Night Market is back on Saturday, September 28 from 6 – 10 p.m., returning to the Rillito Park at 4502 N. First Ave.
June’s market was the biggest and best Night Market yet — more than 50 local food vendors and vegan makers set up and served their vegan goods to around 4,000 people! That’s the largest turnout so far and September’s event ought to match it or even surpass that amount.
September’s Vegan Night Market will have at least 60 vendors offering vegan food of all kinds, cocktails served in a 21-and-over area, music, live tattooing, permanent jewelry, and more.
“Vegan Night Market has it all — tamales, hotdogs, pizza, ‘lobster’ rolls, açaí bowls, baked goods, tons of tea, coffee, cocktails, whiskey, and more,” said Hannah Hernandez, AKA @deathfreefoodie. “Plus, shop vintage and up-cycled clothing, potted plants, beauty products, and skincare.”

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
