c/o Vegan Night Market
The Vegan Night Market will be returning to NYC on Tuesday, May 7 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. This year, it will be set up at Columbus Circle (by the entrance to Central Park), where it will continue to take place on the first Tuesday of every month through October.

The “open-air food and drink festival” was launched last year at Wollman Rink and returns with over twenty vegan food vendors. Food and drink items are priced between $5 and $15.
Some interesting-sounding purveyors include Carnival Dreams, which serves “Whimsical Vegan Carnival Food”; Sam’s Fried Ice Cream; and RastaRant Experience, which serves plant-based Jamaican-American food.

Live music is also expected, and the market is free to enter – though you can RSVP to be entered into their “raffles and giveaways.”
The Vegan Night Market is organized by Masc Hospitality Group (MHG), a Bronx-based event company which produces and promotes “food festivals and culinary brands” throughout the boroughs and in Long Island. MHG is producing this year’s market in partnership with Green Mountain Energy, Liquid Death and Success Academy Charter Schools.
