Organizers said they “hope” the famous night market will be able to open its 2021 season by “early July or August” based on approval by Public Health Officials.

Of course, all of this is to-be-determined.

The announcement went on to say that the team would “continue to assess potential scenarios in accordance with government guidance,” and that folks could expect updates as more information is gathered about the Richmond Night Market in 2021.
