North Vancouver’s FREE Shipyards Night Market returns this spring

Night market season has arrived, and one of our favourites in Metro Vancouver is returning in a big way this spring.
North Vancouver’s Shipyards Night Market (SYNM) is kicking off its 12th anniversary on Friday, May 16, in Lower Lonsdale.
The popular free event takes place every Friday from 3 to 10 p.m. in The Shipyards District and features a beer garden, live music, market vendors, and food trucks.

“Whether you’re a food lover, a shopaholic, a music enthusiast, or simply seeking a vibrant atmosphere, the night market offers something for everyone,” said SYNM online. “Meet friends, make new connections, and immerse yourself in the welcoming spirit of North Vancouver.”

Guests can shop from local artisans selling handmade jewellery and crafts, try tasty dishes and treats, and enjoy live music and DJs in an open-air setting.
All food vendors will be managed in-house by CONIFER Entertainment Society in 2025, and you can expect a variety of cuisines from all over the world. So bring your appetite.
Music welcomes guests right as the market opens every Friday at 3 p.m. Get there early as the opening act usually goes onstage at 5 p.m., the headliner begins around 7 p.m., and DJs keep the energy up in between performances.
