Head to North Vancouver every Friday night between May 16 and September 12 for the Shipyards Night Market. The market is located in the Shipyards District, just a few minutes away from the Lonsdale Quay, so it is easy to get there by Seabus from downtown Vancouver. The market is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, and entry is free.

The focus is on entertainment at the Shipyards Night Market with live music from local bands and DJs blasting from 3 pm until late. You can get your groove on in front of the stage or listen while you browse the stalls for handmade goods and gifts from local makers. There is a beer garden and food trucks on site each week too.

If you’re in the area, don’t miss exploring the shops and boutiques in Lonsdale Quay and the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood. You can also enjoy incredible views of downtown Vancouver across Burrard Inlet by walking out along the Shipyards Pier.
