Vegan Night Market is back on Saturday, June 1 from 6 – 10 p.m. at a brand-new location — the Rillito Park, 4502 N. First Ave.
Presented by Death Free Foodie and Tucson Foodie, this fun event brings together restaurants, food artisans, artists, and more for a fun plant-based evening. In the past, the quarterly Vegan Night Market was hosted at Owl’s Club and the south lawn of the Children’s Museum Tucson, drawing more than 2,000 people each time.
This June, at least 50 vendors will be serving a diverse selection of mouth-watering food, sweets, cocktails, beauty products, and more, with live music from DJ Han Cholo and Gorville Wreck all night.
“Our new venue has a ton of parking and space to roam and enjoy yourself,” said Hannah Hernandez, aka Death Free Foodie. “We’ve got a bunch of incredible small businesses from Tucson and a few from nearby cities and states! Fill up on savory food and sweet treats, along with a large variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Treat yourself to permanent jewelry or a tattoo, listen to great music, and have a great time! Can’t wait to see you!”
The event is free to attend and there’s going to be free parking thanks to support from the Better Business Bureau, OGeez!, Whiskey Del Bac, Originate, and the Heirloom Farmers Market.

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.
