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.

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.

@Casaveratucson opens Aug. 12 at 7265 N. La Cholla Blvd., bringing regional Mexican cuisine to the former Tamarind space.

The 7,000-square-foot restaurant seats 200 guests with a large patio, and the design draws inspiration from a warm, old-world hacienda. The family behind Casa Vera is also known locally for Guadalajara Original Grill.

The menu highlights flavors and techniques from across Mexico, with tableside salsa service, shareable starters like the Hacienda Board and Scallop Mini Tostadas, plus entrées including Lobster Tetelas and Hojaldrado, a beef picadillo-stuffed poblano inspired by chile en nogada.

Casa Vera will be open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Reservations are available through @opentable or by emailing reservations@casaveratucson.com.
