STL Vegan Market is a recurring outdoor marketplace for plant-based food, cruelty-free goods, local art, and community organizations. The market welcomes committed vegans and curious visitors alike, making it an easy addition to a weekend in St. Louis.
When and Where Is STL Vegan Market?
The organizer currently schedules the market on the second Sunday of the month from April through October, generally from noon to 3 p.m. Most dates take place at 2 Acre Park, 3901 Forest Park Avenue, across from IKEA in the Central West End area. Occasional dates may use another venue, so check the official visitor page before leaving home.
What You Can Find at the Market
- Plant-based food and drinks: prepared meals, baked goods, snacks, and beverages from local vendors.
- Cruelty-free products: skincare, clothing, accessories, and household goods.
- Local makers: art, jewelry, plants, and handcrafted products.
- Community resources: nonprofit groups and information about sustainable, animal-friendly living.
Admission, Parking, and Arrival Tips
Admission is free. Street parking and other free parking are generally available nearby, but availability varies by date and nearby activity. Arriving near opening time offers the best product selection because popular food vendors can sell out. Drivers should use extra care when crossing Forest Park Avenue and Vandeventer Avenue.
Weather and What to Bring
The market normally operates outdoors and may continue in light rain, with cancellation reserved for unsafe weather. Bring water and sun protection during warm months. A reusable shopping bag is helpful, and visitors planning to stay should wear comfortable walking shoes. Check the official event channels on the day of the market for weather or location changes.
