Veganizer Asian Market 2026

The Veganizer Asian Market is back for its second year! This one of a kind cultural event celebrates the intersection between Asian culture and vegan community. Our 2026 market brings over 75 small businesses who identify as Asian (Central, East, Southeast, South, West), Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander together in one community space.
Veganizer Asian Market - Sunday, June 7, 2026
/ General Admission 5pm-9pm

Veganizer's annual Asian heritage event began as a takeout popup, evolved into a 10-chef tasting dinner, and finally, our inaugural Veganizer Asian Market in 2025. Here's a recap of last year's market by our friends at Asian American Town.

Inspired by the bustling night markets that we grew up attending in Asia, the Veganizer Asian Market features food, drinks, art, home goods, and more. Our 2026 vegan night market will be indoors and outdoors as we're expanding into the entire outdoor plaza for an additional 22,000 sqft of event space. This huge expansion is possible thanks to your incredible support last year!

A portion of market sales will benefit our nonprofit partner APANO, one of Oregon's longest-standing Asian grassroots advocacy organizations and its political, social, economic and cultural work.

Special thanks to our event partners and sponsors: APANO, The Redd, Mirisata, PDX Pipeline, Portland Mercury + Everout, Dappled Tonic, SakeOne, and Asian American Town.
