We hope you’re hungry because the Richmond summer staple is making its return!

The Richmond Night Market is gearing up to officially open for its 2025 season on Friday, April 25. 

This highly anticipated event is the largest night market in North America. 

This year is extra special because it marks the 25th anniversary of the market, and there will be some special offers for visitors to celebrate. 

One of these special offers is the return of its popular Summer Happy Hour with special food and drink deals that are all under $10.

Last year, the owner of Firework Productions Ltd., Raymond Cheung, applied for an extension to the event’s temporary commercial use permit (at 8351 River Rd.), which would allow the event to operate this year until 2026, organizers said.

The Asian night market is known for its lavish food court, carnival atmosphere, and nightly entertainment, and it draws out more than a million people annually.

“Dive into thrilling games, live entertainment, and unique retail booths! We’ve prepared exciting new games that will add even more fun to your experience. Snap unforgettable moments at dazzling art installations, and discover excitement around every corner with fresh finds from new and seasoned vendors,” said the night market.
