Did you know that the North Brisbane Vegan Markets, a monthly foodie event that started in late 2021, is back at the Toombul Shopping Centre in Nundah?
If you missed the relaunch in January 2022, you can still mark your calendars for the upcoming North Brisbane Vegan Markets schedules for two Sundays — 20 February and 20 March!
Organised by Brisbane Vegan Markets, this monthly Sunday event will feature some 30 stalls for vegan eats, drinkies, shopping, and charities. Seize the chance to sample a variety of healthy choices, guaranteed without animal products, and score some cruelty-free merchandise as well.
During the relaunch, regular favourites like Vegan Yumm, an all-vegan, dairy-free and egg-free bakehouse based in Everton Park, and Grass Fed Vegan, a vegan burger and ice cream house from South Brisbane welcomed patrons in long lines.
The North Brisbane Vegan Markets opens from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with no entry free. Families may bring their pets as this obviously an animal-friendly event. To spice up the mood, live music will be playing as patrons do their vegan shopping.
According to research from Roy Morgan, the number of vegan adults in Australia has increased to almost 11.2 per cent of the general population in 2016. Choices of plant-based food sources and meals have been rising as well as more people adopt a healthier lifestyle.
“The food industry has responded with an increase in the range of products that are available and the labelling of vegan-friendly products as well,” said Queensland Public Health Nutritionist Mathew Dick.
