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.
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.

I grew up in an Asian American household in a conservative town where I didn’t learn about vegetarianism until I was much older, even though I ate a lot of tofu (with meat)! Now, as a vegan and AAPI in Portland, I love knowing that there are people just like me who celebrate their heritage and cultural foods while living plant-based for a variety of reasons! I would love to attend this event and see other like minded people and businesses!
would love to check it out!
Would love to attend!
This would be amazing! Jade Rabbit is the best, I would love to check out some of the other vegan restaurants!
My favorite thing to do is attend food events in Portland but moneys tight so can’t go unless I win tickets
I would love to take my sister to this!
This sounds great! As a vegan, I have to skip a lot of foodie events because there’s nothing I can eat. Asian food is the best 🙂
I’ve been vegan for 20 years and love trying new foods. Getting a chance to go would be great.
Sounds great!
I have been looking for a cool thing to do for my teen’s birthday and she would totally love this!!! Please make us VIPs! I probably don’t deserve it, but she’s so much cooler than me!
This would be delicious!
I would love to go to this as an AAPI vegan. I’ve only been vegan for a year so it would be my first time going!
This would be amazing! My wife just celebrated 11 years vegan..
great event!
My wife has been vegan for 7 or 8 years. She’s been unsuccessfully trying to convert me but I’m pretty stubborn. Perhaps being introduced to some vegan food that I really like would persuade me to convert to veganism :).
This sounds like a ton of fun
My husband and I are vegan and are new to the area. We would love to attend this event – Good luck to all!
I’ve been vegan for over 15 years and my favorite food to treat myself and not make at home is Asian food! I love it all, with Japanese being my fave after Indian. Needless to say, I’d LOVE to attend this!
Would love to learn about more vegan businesses in Portland! Been trying to eat more plant based
give me the plants 🦕
As someone who has been Vegan for over a decade now, I love to try new vegan foods. I especially like sharing these experiences with my Omni boyfriend.

(Please, please, please, please, please!!!!)
This event looks amazing!
I am a foodie. I love experiencing other cultures through food. I love finding new fruits and veggies that I’ve never heard of before. I appreciate having my mind opened up to things I never imagined. This market seems like a wonderful time to dive deeper into food and cultures.
Sounds like a great time
Interested!
This sounds simply amazing!!!
I’d like to go because vegan food is delicious and I’d love to learn more about local small AAPI businesses that I can support throughout the year!
I have been following the Portland vegan scene for a number of years and want to see what’s new! What a great opportunity!
This would be sooo fun! I’d love to surprise my vegan friend who’s going through a breakup right now with this!
I would especially appreciate the chance to try some gluten free samples and mix and mingle! Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds like a good time
I applied to become a food vendor and got rejected due to space limitations. Would love to attend an experience all the Asians culture as a melting pot.
This would be a great vip event. I like the vegan market already, please make me a VIP.
I’m Japanese American and would love to show up for my AAPI community!
Yummm!!!
Sounds fun!
Just reading this makes me hungry! I’d love to experience this event with my bestie.
I am interested in becoming vegan
I’m trying to shift to a vegan life
Would love the inspiration and a chance to go to the 50 plus booths.. it’s exciting.
I always want to go to these events but often the food is near sold out when I get there 🙁 Having the chance to go early would be perfect to get to try some of the food!
We are moving to Korea soon! I would love to take my kids this event in Portland before we go!
I love seeing more events centered around the AAPI and AANHPI community.
Always wanted to go
thanks for chance at tix!
My wife is Filipina and Filipino cuisine is one that hasn’t picked up on the vegan diet yet. Would be great to go and get inspirations.
My very vegan sweetie, whom I am trying to convince to move to Portland, will be visiting from out of town. I would love to take them to this event as part of my persuasion campaign!
Yes, Please!!

Such a wonderful opportunity to support our local community and celebrate with delicious food!
I would love to win a pair of tickets and take my partner!
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated,” Gandhi
