This year, the event begins two weeks earlier than pre-pandemic editions of the market, while still running until October. With hundreds of vendors and thousands of attendees every week, Richmond Night Market organizers are hoping the event rebounds after a couple of down years.
The return of B.C.’s Tourism Events Program may help fund some of the market’s costs, with the government funding as much as $5 million to support events between this October to September 2023. Melanie Mark, minister of tourism, arts, culture and sport, is expected to make an appearance at the event’s opening Friday night.© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
