30+ Vendors are Poppin’ up at the Vegan Night Market (March 2024)

Feb 20, 20242 min read

Vegan Night Market is back on Saturday, March 2 at 6 p.m. Presented by Death Free Foodie and Tucson Foodie, this extraordinary event brings together restaurants, food artisans, artists, and more for a fun plant-based evening after the sun goes down.

Over 2,000 people typically show up to the quarterly Vegan Night Market at Owl’s Club (236 S. Scott Ave) and the south lawn of the Children’s Museum Tucson (200 S. Sixth Ave.).

More than 30 vendors will be serving a diverse selection of mouth-watering food, sweets, cocktails, beauty products, and more, with live music from DJ Han Cholo all night. This edition will also feature permanent jewelry, tattoos, vintage clothing, and vegan leather hats to add to the fun. 

Hannah Hernandez, aka Death Free Foodie, is eager for the fourth edition of the market saying, “I think it’s all coming together really nicely and I’m excited to see how it turns out.” She also highlighted new vendors to the Vegan Night Market, like Fatboy Sandos, Substance Diner, and You Sly Dog.

The event is free to attend thanks to support from the Better Business Bureau, Brings, Originate, and the Children’s Museum.

There’s plenty of parking downtown, whether it be at any of the meters (they’re free after 5 p.m.) or in a nearby garage. Heck, park on the west side of I-10 near the MSA Annex and hop on the Sun Link. You’ll be at the market quicker than the amount of time it takes to read the ingredients on a package of Slim Jims.

Don’t miss the opportunity to join this inclusive gathering! Invite your friends, vegans and non-vegans alike, for a memorable evening.

The Vegan Night Market will be located at Owls Club, 236 S. Scott Ave., and across the street at the Children’s Museum lawn, 200 S. Sixth Ave. For more information, visit vnm.tucsonfoodie.com. To keep up with the latest, follow Death Free Foodie on Instagram.

The grand opening is TODAY, Oct. 8! 🎉

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
