In late September, the Vegan Night Market returned to Rillito Park for another monstrous market — introducing local eaters to vegan eats, drinks, and crafts.
At 4502 N. First Ave., around 60 vendors set up and dished out the vegan goods. This past event also had a 21-and-over Vegan Bar and live tattooing. It was an all-around blast and we’re looking forward to the next Vegan Night Market in December.
What to look forward to in December:
- New time: 4 – 9 p.m. (since it’s a little chilly at night)
- It’ll be a holiday-themed/festive event
- Seasonal flavors from vendors
- We’re returning to Rillito Park
Thank you all for coming out and making Vegan Night Market beautiful!
Now, let’s take a look at this past market.
