The Friday Night Market at Shipbuilders' Square situated at the foot of Lonsdale in North Vancouver is now in its third year of operation and has matured into a popular Friday night destination not just for North Shore residents but also for people from around the Lower Mainland.
The market, put on by North Shore Green Markets, offers a wide variety of food, music, crafts, art and fun in a beautiful waterfront setting.
The public plaza features upwards of 30 food trucks so that market-goers can eat their way around the gastronomic globe. As they taste the wide variety of ethnic foods offered
- including gluten-free and organic choices - people can enjoy their meals seaside while sitting on the docks of historic Shipbuilders' Square and strolling and relaxing on the pier jutting out into Burrard Inlet.
Market vendors include farmers with their local produce, pastry chefs offering baked pies and desserts, and artisans and artists creating and displaying their goods as live music from local bands and musicians fills the air, enticing young and old to get up and dance as they enjoy the final rays of the setting sun. The Friday Night Market runs weekly from 5 to 10 p.m. up until Sept. 26.
