And the best part is that the old night market is still there too! The "Summer Night Market" near the Ikea in Richmond.
I'm not sure if Vancouver is big enough to sustain two big night markets but it's sure good news for the locals. Especially since we have the biggest night markets in North America. I really hope they both co-exist in the long run.
Summer Night Market versus Richmond Night Market
The Summer Night Market by Ikea still has the same layout as previous years. And it's still $5 for parking unless you park further or find street parking but there is no admission fee. And since the new Richmond Night Market has opened up, the old one is not drawing the same large crowds. But there is still a good variety of food and goods to buy.
The Richmond Night Market by Riverrock seems to have a new set of food vendors that I haven't seen at the previous night market. It's also slightly bigger and parking is free and there is plenty of it!
There is however, an admission fee. When I first went it was $1, but a few weeks later it went up to $1.50. I'm not sure if it will keep going up. But the price is reasonable for now and the layout is really clean and spacious.
Overall, the Richmond Night Market has some new improvements and is a refreshing change from the old one. But I also like going back to the old Summer Night Market because they are both a different experience.
