One of Metro Vancouver’s most anticipated summer staple events is back. The Richmond Night Market—a luminous summer fair that typically draws over one million visitors a year—is running on weekends all through August. Even though they’ll be starting off smaller than usual, they’ll be adding vendors and events all summer as restrictions change.

But make sure to go on an empty stomach; the market’s crowning glory is its one-of-a-kind collection of some of the finest vendors and restauranteurs in North America.

In addition to the international street food, the market features shopping, live entertainment and, of course, an unforgettable atmosphere lit by thousands upon thousands of lights.

The market is running at a limited capacity for now, so be sure to show up early to secure your spot.
