Summer Night Market, behind Home Depot

Con: $5 parking EXCEPT lol free parking if you know where to park.
All of the vendors and most of the food stalls are here so I don't know where this new Richmond Night Market is going to recruit vendors...

Now the hlrs part...
From Summer Night Market:

 

$1 admission? Guess they charge it because they don't make any money for parking. Still...

Time to do a nightmarket crawl, start out in Chinatown, Bridgeport, then free shuttle to Vulcan Way.

Btw, I think you mean Bridgeport Station not Brighouse. That's too far .

 

Lol I probably did. I was about to write Bridgeport then erased it and wrote Brighouse cause I thought that was closer. don't transit much lol.

 

$1 Admission? I never heard of that o_o

 

Anyone go to opening night for the River Rock nightmarket?

We need some highlights for the best/cheapest:
Skewer stand
Hurricane potatoes
etc.

 

There's a mini Fly Zone set up there, but not sure about the price :l But i'll probably go!

what for is it

 

What?

 

I was at the richmond night market last night. Just the same as the summer night market, but better location. Parking at the parking lot across from casino is only $2.50.

Those BBQ chicken on sticks are so good. I had five of them. $10.50.

 

It's not $1 admission and free parking with it? So I'm paying $2.50 for parking, and $1 per person to go in? I get free parking at the old one and no admission.

 

Which old one? Lansdowne?

 

There is a free parking lot, but it's usually packed.

 

Yea It's ALWAYS packed. If you plan on leaving.. expect a 10 minute delay.

 

Well...that's not smart of them. Damn.

 

Parking was a total disaster. We sat motionless for 45 minutes in the parking lot trying to leave. One guy got fed up and took down the fence to the service road. The lot was cleared out in 10 minutes after that.

 

Park at the $2.50 per day lot across from casino. I had zero problem getting out.

 

Admission is $1.50 now for the River Rock Nightmarket . Free for seniors (60+) and kids (<10) though.



Any try the free shuttle to the Home Depot one yet?

 

$0.50 more now?

 

What the sh*t? It was only a $1 last week when I went....in other words they're trying to force people to buy the zoom pass?

 

Just park at the casino lot, they don't check!
