Outdoor markets and events are surely the best part of summer! North Vancouver’s beloved annual Shipyards Night Market returns starting May 4^th. Join the fun with food, art, and live music every Friday night starting at 5 pm until September 28^th.
 
If you’re looking to shop, there will be over 100 vendors selling unique, locally made goods – perfect for gifts or as a treat for yourself! Live music is on at the market until 10 pm, with performances by local artists and musicians.
 
There will also be plenty of fresh, local food and drink to enjoy with friends. In previous years, the market has included over 40 food trucks in their ‘hot food alley’. Be sure to stay tuned for this year’s lineup of food vendors – it seems that food trucks have been taking over the foodie scene in Vancouver, so you’re sure to find interesting, unique, and most importantly delicious eats! And of course, there is also your standard snack fare to tide you over like popcorn, ice cream, and more. If you’re over 19 years old, be sure to check out the beer garden, which serves up local craft beer and cider, as well as Betty’s Vodka Iced Tea.
 
The Shipyards Night Market is held at the Shipbuilders’ Square, just a 10 minute drive away from Capilano River RV Park. Street parking is available in the areas surrounding the market, or there is free parking in the ICBC parkade after 6 pm on Fridays, located next to the Lonsdale Quay Market. If you’re taking transit, the market is just a 30 minute bus ride away from Capilano River RV Park – perfect if you’re looking to have a drink or two in celebration of summer and Friday nights in North Vancouver!
