It’s that time of the year again! Have you had any foodie adventures with your friends? If not…get ready for a feast!
The Richmond Night Market, the largest night market in North America, is open from April 26th to October 14th 2024.
Make sure to bring cash to the Richmond Night Market! Most vendors will only accept cash. Here’s a list of major banks/ATMs on UBC campus:
It takes around 1 hour to get to Richmond Night Market from the UBC bus loop. I recommend:
Make sure to check the arrival schedule on Google Maps!
The entrance fee is $8 per person. There will be a long queue before the night market starts, so I recommend that you get a Zoom Pass, which costs $40 for 5 people and is transferable. Having a Zoom Pass will help you enter the market quickly. If you do not have 5 people in your group, you can do ticket pooling.
Here are some recommendations for foods where you can get large portions for relatively low prices:
Ponchos Birria: Cheese lovers will definitely want to order this for a cheese pull! The serving size could be enough for 2 people to eat, since you will definitely eat other things at the market.
Rotato: You can never go wrong with this order at a night market. The cowboy potato is served with a perfect crunch and a combination of all the available flavours.
Super BBQ: A popular item at the night market. You can choose your own meat (lamb, shrimp, beef, etc.) for the 4 skewers – I recommend the beef!
Lemonade: A refreshing, freshly-made lemonade is highly recommended, and you can pick your own flavour. The drink also comes with a mini unicorn inflatable!
Game Booths: There are lots of game options right next to the food booths, where you can spend quality time with friends, family, or a date.
