New Burnaby night market pops up with food trucks and free activities this summer

Night market season is in full swing in Metro Vancouver, and a brand-new event is popping up this summer, though only for a limited time.

Metropolis at Metrotown has announced it will host its first-ever Night Market at the Met from July 4 to 7. The market can be found at the outdoor South Plaza on Central Boulevard across from the Metrotown SkyTrain Station.

The family-friendly event is free to attend, with kids’ activities, food trucks and more. It is also part of a packed summer lineup happening at Metropolis.

All good night markets have a mouthwatering variety of food trucks to choose from, and Night Market at the Met is no different. The inaugural lineup of vendors at the hawker centre-inspired event include:

  • Wakwak Burgers
  • Aburi’s WA Bagel
  • Butcher’s Block BBQ
  • Kam Wai Dim Sum
  • Bon Moment
