The Richmond Night Market makes its return for the 2023 season and the International Food Fair is always one of the highlights of the market.
This year’s theme is A Touch of Magic. A massive 60-foot bouncy castle will let kids jump the night away, while everyone can stroll through the candy-coloured forest, with oversized prop chairs and plenty more for visitors to see and do. The Night Market Stage also offers up nightly entertainment, while the entertainment/games area is also extremely popular with both young and old.
Here’s a look at what you can expect this year especially the Richmond Night Market Food 2023 lineup.

Richmond Night Market Food 2023 & Drinks
One of the best parts of the Night Market is the food. Eating your way through the market is surely one way to enjoy the festival.
For the first time, foods from Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico will be featured. In total, there will be more than 110 food booths and food trucks offering a tantalizing menu of more than 600 different foods, drinks and desserts.
Here’s a look at some of the vendors that will be at the Richmond Night Market Food Fair based on my own research. There is no actual formal list of vendors published by the festival. And sometimes other major publications have writers that are lazy and just ripe off my list. I certainly don’t look at theirs as I do my own research!
This list will be updated as more information becomes available.
If you know a vendor that should be featured, please DM me on social media @foodgressing or email me [email protected].
PRO TIP: Bring cash because many vendors are cash only! However, there are ones that take Square payment. Based on what I saw, most vendors charge around $15 – $25 for substantial items. Of course, you’ll find smaller bites for less than that.
