We spent $70 at the Illumination Summer Night Market and this is what we bought

It’s the season to hit up bustling markets.

And when it’s a night market, even better. That’s why the Illumination Summer Night Market in Richmond is a must-visit this summer.

The epic multicultural market is open every weekend from 7 pm until midnight so you don’t have to leave the beach early to get there. Once you’re there, you’ll find everything from Asian fusion foods, to pineapple drinks, twisty hurricane fires, and a wealth of useful gadgets.

You can go to the market with a small budget and be pleasantly surprised at what you can buy. Not to mention all of the Instagram selfie opportunities you can snap at the many light displays throughout the market.
