The Richmond Night Market makes its return for the 2024 season and the International Food Fair is always one of the highlights of the market.
This year’s theme is Summer Sweet Dragon to celebrate the year of the dragon. A massive 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.
There are more than 600 international food options that waiting for you to explore, tempting your taste buds with an exotic journey of flavors. Explore more than 110 retail booths, each a treasure trove of unique finds, trendy fashion, and artisanal crafts.
Here’s a look at what you can expect this year especially the Richmond Night Market Food 2024 lineup.
Richmond Night Market Food 2024 & 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.
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.
PRO TIP: Bring cash because many vendors are cash only! However, there are ones that take Square payment. In previous years, most vendors charge around $15 – $25 for substantial items. Of course, you’ll find smaller bites for less than that.
