We hope you’re hungry, Vancouver, because there are a ton of delicious night markets to take advantage of this season. While we can’t always count on pleasant spring weather, great food and local talent are all but guaranteed at these exciting markets. So get your forks ready – it’s time to support local businesses & make some spectacular memories in the process!

Here are 4 night markets to check out in & around Vancouver this spring.

Richmond Night Market

While it’s a little early in the year to talk about this year’s lineup of street food, we couldn’t be more excited for the return of the Richmond Night Market. From candy sticks to boba, to customizable noodles — it’s easy to see why the market attracts over one million visitors each year. So mark your calendars for Friday, April 28th, the official opening date of this year’s annual market series!

When: Friday, April 28th
Where: 8351 River Road, Richmond

Indonesian Night Market – Pacific Arts Market 

If you’ve ever wanted to try a ton of Indonesian eats and drinks all in one place, early May is the perfect chance to do just that. Pacific Arts Market is hosting an Indonesian Night Market – and it’s completely free to attend! From batik fabric to Indonesian plates like chicken sate and beef ball soup (Bakso) – there will be plenty to do and snack on here.

When: Saturday, May 6th, 2023
Where: 1448 West Broadway

Shipyards Night Market

Guess what, Vancouver? The beloved Shipyards Night Market is officially making a comeback this spring after a three-year hiatus, just in time for its 10th anniversary. And you won’t have to spend a dime on admission!

Visitors can once again enjoy their iconic beer garden and outdoor market, and peruse the many mouthwatering food trucks in attendance. As well, the market is bringing back live music and DJs – so consider your Friday night plans made.
