Veganizer Asian Market
Portland's Largest Vegan AANHPI Heritage Event

Veganizer's annual Asian heritage event is now bigger than ever! Eat, drink, and shop 50+ AANHPI vendors at the Veganizer Asian Market at the Redd on Salmon in Portland.

Sunday, June 1, 2025, 5pm-10pm
The Redd on Salmon, 831 SE Salmon St, Portland, OR 97214

After several years of hosting Veganizer Asian heritage events as collaborative popups, we're reimagining this concept as a vegan night market with food, drinks, art, home goods, live entertainment, and much more! Join us as we celebrate and foster community, while highlighting the intersection between Asian culture and veganism, at one of Portland's most iconic venues.

This event brings over 50 small businesses who identify as Asian (Central, East, Southeast, South, West), Pacific Islander, or Native Hawaiian together in one community space. A portion of market sales will benefit APANO, one of Oregon's longest-standing Asian grassroots advocacy organizations, and its political, social, economic and cultural work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the Veganizer Asian Market take place?
The Veganizer Asian Market will be held on Sunday, June 1, 2025 at the Redd on Salmon located at 831 SE Salmon Street, Portland, OR 97214. Plaza parking is for vendors only, but there is plenty of street parking in the area. Two streetcar lines (A-Loop pink and B-Loop blue) and four bus lines (14, 15, 6, 70) stop within a quarter mile of the Redd. The venue is wheelchair accessible and offers ADA all gender restrooms.

Is this an indoor or outdoor event?
The Veganizer Asian Market will be held indoors in the Redd on Salmon main hall with a few vendors on the patio. The outdoor plaza was not in our budget for a first year market. If this event is successful, our goal is to expand the market into the Redd outdoor plaza in 2026!

What's the difference between VIP Admission and Priority Admission?
VIP tickets include VIP only hour from 5pm to 6pm, an exclusive welcome dish (VGF) by Chef Kasem Saengsawang of Farmhouse Kitchen, exclusive welcome drink by Mixologist Nan Chaison of Libre, limited edition Veganizer Asian Market tote bag, and special access to the Masafresh cooking demo. VIP tickets are $45-$48, depending on whether you choose the non-alcoholic drink or cocktail.
