Update: Richmond Night Market is Open Thru October 5th

Tuesday August 12, 2008

As a commenter pointed out recently, I need to update you on the status of the Richmond Night Market.

Back in May, I blogged that the Market was canceled this summer due to a site dispute, and didn't do an update to say: Hey, the market is back on after all! Organizers got their act together and the summer staple is back in its traditional home, at 12631 Vulcan Way.

Market hours are 7pm to midnight every Friday and Saturday, 7pm to 11pm Sundays, and 7pm to 11pm holiday Mondays (including Labour Day), until October 5.

I haven't had a chance to visit the market this summer (yet), but a friend told me it's scaled down from previous summers, because of the earlier almost-cancellation (not all the usual vendors were able to rally). If you've been, I'd love to hear from you: Is it much smaller? Still worth the trip?

And, to Walter, who reminded me to update on this--Thanks!

The Richmond Night Market is still great. The food area is worth going to and there are lots of ‘deals’ on merchandise. Not many tourists know about it, so if you have a house guest be sure to show them. I think it is cancelled if it rains, but I’m not certain.
