Less perfection.
We’re here to make a positive impact by creating a safe, expansive foundation where small businesses can thrive and new friendships can flourish.
We’re always learning, and we hope to make memories with you someday :)
and just like that…
we’re canada's first and only vegan night market
In 2017, we introduced Canada’s first all-vegan marketplace in Vancouver, BC. Since that pivotal moment, we’ve successfully hosted numerous festivals, markets, and outreach programs.
In 2023 we reached another milestone, launching Vancouver’s only oceanfront market located at Locarno Beach. Our most recent venture is bringing the market back to the East Coast. As of this June 18th, The Vegan Night Market will be held once a month at Balmy Beach in Toronto!
we’re kind of a big deal

Our goal is to create a upbeat, welcoming atmosphere where all walks of life engage in the plant-based industry and support small businesses while giving back to those in need.
Through our admission structure we’ve successfully raised over $60,000 which has gone to different animal not-for profits as well as donated over 35+ car loads of physical donations back into the Vancouver East Side through our community partner, Wish Drop-In Shelter.
