Night MarketsĀ 

Even though Chinatown’s night market has been cancelled this year, three other local markets are keeping the summer tradition alive. Hop the Canada Line to Richmond for an evening at the International Summer Night Market or the Richmond Night Market todiscover live entertainment, food trucks and vendors that sell everything from Asian cuisine to the latest iPhone accessories. Or board the Seabus to North Vancouver for the Shipyards Night Market on Fridays until the end of September. With live music until 10 p.m., a beer garden, as well as organic and handmade local products, this event is like a market and festival all in one.
