Review: Richmond International Night Market

Friday last week we went to the Richmond International night Market. Quite a few met up for this special night market. However, we quickly realized that we definitely weren’t the only group of people who had the idea of visiting the market. Lots of people were visiting the market, and the line for the entrance was overwhelming. The long line wasn’t a problem though, as you could spend your time taking pictures while waiting. However, some people didn’t have the patience to stand in line, so they bought a VIP entrance card for 20$ instead of the ordinary 2.25$. This was great fun to us because it seemed a bit desperate. On the other hand, probably all of got just a little tired of listening to the jingle that was playing over and over again while we were waiting in line.

As we entered the market it was clear that not only food but all kinds of other stuff that “you just can’t live without” was being sold. Everything from mobile covers to special microfiber mops was sold. For sure this market isn’t your ordinary type of food market. Some of us tried out exotic dishes, while others were more into the various l kinds of candy on offer. For instance you could get strawberries covered in chocolate. Besides the numerous stalls, a massive inflated yellow duck next to the entrance made this market a bit out of the ordinary.

Thanks to all of you who showed up! Once again remember there’s no pub night this Wednesday due to our pub & club night Friday. Time and place will be announced soon.

You can check out the great inflated duck (not the picture of the duck showed in this blog post… the inflated duck is much bigger) and several other pictures from the Night market here

Richmond Night Market

This Friday afternoon we’ll be going to the Richmond Night Market. The market boasts lots of exciting food stalls serving mostly Asian food from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore etc. The market also has more than 100 merchandise stores, a mini golf course and much more. There’s almost no limit to what you can find at the market, and there will also be the opportunity to enter various competitions and win great prices! Several events are also held at the market. This friday’s entertainment will be delivered by musicians.

We’ll meet up at 7:30pm in order for all of us to save money on the public transportation. The fares for transportation are lowered after 6:30pm. Admission is only 2.25$ and is donated by the market to the Canadian Cancer Society. So while having fun at the market you’ll also be supporting a good cause.

You can get to the market by different busses. The easiest way is to connect with Canada Line Sky Train. If you’re going from downtown Vancouver you can take Canada Line from the Sky Train station Vancouver City Centre Station and get off at Bridgeport Station. At Bridgeport Station you enter Great Canadian Way and turn left onto 8351 River Road, which is a 500 metre walk.
