Vegan Tucson Night Market, hosted by Death Free Foodie and Tucson Foodie, is back on Saturday, June 7, from 6 to 10 p.m.

The upcoming experience marks the two-year anniversary. We’ve learned a lot from that first Vegan Tucson Night Market, including the fact that vegans love Tucson’s food scene, and we needed a much bigger space to fit them all.

With free parking and plenty of room for at least 60 vendors, the market is returning to the Rillito Park at 4502 N. First Ave.

“I can’t believe it’s already been two years since the very first Vegan Night Market,” said Hannah Hernandez, AKA Death Free Foodie. “I’m so grateful for the love and support. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on June 7th!”

So, expect food and beverage vendors (TBA), live music, and a unique ambiance that brings together 4,000-5,000 plant-based food lovers for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.

Last year, we introduced the VIP Lounge, which continues to evolve each time we gather at Rillito Park.

Tickets are $35 per person and include access to the outdoor lounge, free tastings from Whiskey Del Bac, Parch, and Chill Wine, one drink at the bar, and a special vegan menu from local chefs Pablo Valencia and Christian Padilla, who’ll be serving fried yakisoba yakitori stixxx.

  • Fried Yakisoba Yakitori Stixxx (three choices)
    • Elote – crema, grilled corn, smoked ancho
    • Nopal – grilled nopal, citrus zest, vegan queso fresco
    • Mushroom – crema, duxelles, tortilla ash, pickled Fresno

VIP Tickets can be purchased now at eventbrite.com.

And, as always, it’s free entry and there’s free parking.

Invite your friends, vegans and non-vegans alike, for a memorable evening.

The Vegan Night Market will be located at Rillito Park, 4502 N. First Ave. For more information, visit vnm.tucsonfoodie.com. To keep up with the latest, follow Death Free Foodie on Instagram.
