Asia’s night markets are all-night extravaganzas of tastes, smells and sounds. But you don’t have to journey far to indulge in this epic tradition. Join us for the Richmond Night Market, the largest in North America—featuring a 600-foot zipline that lets you soar above the action for a bird’s-eye view of the fun. Devour crab meat noodles, BBQ squid, ramen, Japanese poutine, Brazilian pastries, spare ribs, sushi, Afghan bolani, even sausage in a waffle cone—with more than 200 food and retail stalls; you’ll be rapt, awestruck and always very well fed.
Jump feet-first into the Night Market
Through the laughter of friends and the sizzle of fresh food being cooked right before your eyes, the sounds of nightly live entertainment cut through the din. As you weave through throngs of market-goers, keep a sharp eye out for retailers selling handmade clothing, colourful cell phone cases, authentic silks, and much more–all for street-side prices. Welcome to the Richmond Night Market.
What’s Happening This Season
For the 2026 season, the Richmond Night Market is bringing a fresh lineup of features—including a soccer-themed atmosphere tied to the global tournament in Vancouver and a new Night Market Trading Card Zone. Returning this year, the 600-foot zipline lets you take in the vibrant scene from above. On the ground, Happy Hour brings wallet-friendly bites and sips to every corner of the market, with vendors offering food under $10 and drinks at $7 throughout the evening. Come after 10:00 pm to take advantage of After Dark—when admission drops to just $5 and select vendors roll out extra late-night deals.
