We are back again welcoming one of Metro Vancouver’s favourite annual happenings! The Richmond Night Market is celebrating its milestone 25th anniversary in 2025, running every weekend from April 25 to October 13, 2025.
Either you are a first timer or planning a visit this season, I got you covered here with all the information you need and some personal recommendations for you to check out!
If you are a foodie like me, enjoy every authentic dish that you find in the Asian restaurant, Richmond Night Market that features well over a hundred good vendors serving more than 500 different dishes is definitely the place to be. Inspired by Asia’s popular night market scene, Richmond Night Market launched in 2000 and became the largest of its kind in North America. So popular that it attracts one million visitors every year.
Located at the corner of No. 3 Road and River Road, right next door to the landmark River Rock Casino Resort and just one-block walk from Canada Line’s Bridgeport Station. It is super convenient and a great excuse to go for a night out hunting down the mouthwatering dishes on any of these weekends.
The 2025 market runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings––as well as Mondays that fall on holiday long weekends. It opens at 7:00 pm and closes at midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and stat holiday Sundays. Regular opening hours: Friday, Saturday 7:00pm to 12:00am, Sunday and Long weekend Monday 7pm-11pm.
With more than 100 retailers, foods are not the only thing you will love but all these vendors provide different goodies like artisan-crafted jewellery to cellphone accessories, you name it and you will find it there. So be sure to spare yourself plenty of time to explore the market and just grab some food whenever you feel like.
Tired of exploring already and feel like a breather? How about heading over to the large stage at the market to enjoy some free entertainment? From local bands to Metro Vancouver cultural groups, jugglers to K-pop dancers. I am sure I will enjoy the shows with a cold beverage in hand, how about you?
