The Redd on Salmon
831 SE Salmon St, Portland, OR 97214
Eat, drink, and shop your way through Portland’s (and Oregon’s) largest plant-based Asian heritage event!
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.
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.

Previous experience working in a restaurant kitchen. Wanting to expand my culinary skills by including more vegan food. So many of my people in Portland are vegan. If preparing and offering food to others is an act of service, I need to include vegan options for my tribe. Help!
i would love this.
I don’t eat meat and my wife is Filipina and loves to cook. Would love to get some inspiration on how she can make Asian dishes vegan.
