Vegan Night Market, hosted by Death Free Foodie and Tucson Foodie, is back on Saturday, December 7 from 5 – 8 p.m., returning to the Rillito Park at 4502 N. First Ave.
New to the Vegan Night Market
It’s the season of giving so we’re hosting a holiday canned food drive!
All donations will be given to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Serving five counties, including Pima County, the Community Food Bank provides essential resources like emergency food boxes, meal programs, and community education on food sustainability.
VIP Experience
We’re also introducing a new way to enjoy Vegan Tucson Night Market! In other words, elevate your experience with a VIP ticket for just $45.
VIP access includes:
- One Hour of Early Entry at 4 p.m. – Skip the lines and explore all the vendors in a relaxed setting, one hour before the general public arrives
- VIP Lounge Access – Indulge in a private lounge setting featuring a vegan sushi bar by renowned Chef Anthony Dromgoole of OBON, where you’ll get to enjoy delicious plant-based sushi as part of your VIP ticket
- Two Complimentary Drinks – Choose from exclusive vegan cocktails or other beverages designed just for our VIPs
Purchase your tickets to the VIP Experience here.
With more than 60 vegan food vendors, live music, and an ambiance that’s dark, edgy, and electric, this event brings together 4,000-5,000 plant-based food lovers for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience. This month, sip on beer, cocktails, and hot cocoa as you enjoy vegan eats under the stars. With flash tattoos, permanent jewelry, and a festive holiday market filled with vintage clothing, makeup, jewelry, and more, it’ll be the perfect night to celebrate the season.
Also, the Vegan Night Market — sponsored by Whiskey Del Bac — will be on the soccer fields at Rillito Park as opposed to where it’s been located in the past.
Dogs won’t be allowed this time but bring a chair, blanket, frisbee, etc. and have fun!
