The Richmond Night Market boasts authentically Asian snacks and street food, like tornado potatoes, grilled squid, fresh mango desserts, dragon’s beard candy, bubble waffles, and so much more. You’ll also find retailers selling unique accessories and knick-knacks at street-side prices. Some merchants are willing to bargain, so give it a try! Channel your inner negotiator and you’ll leave with a haul of cool products. Between food and shopping, there’s a diverse array of nightly live entertainment ranging from music and dance performances to carnival games and rides.

Excited yet? Good, because everyone else is, too. This can mean big crowds and lineups for things like ATMs and parking (which is free). Since the night market is mostly cash-only, you’ll want to visit an ATM before you go. As for parking, leave the car behind and take public transit, carpool, or ride your bike if you can.

The Titanic Exhibition is coming to Vancouver — an exciting stop on its international circuit!

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open June 23, 2018 and run through January 11, 2019. The exhibition is  designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic’s compelling human stories, best told through more than 120 authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Visitors are quickly drawn back in time to 1912, receiving a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger aboard Titanic. They begin their chronological voyage through Titanic, moving through the ship’s construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts. They will marvel at the re-created accommodations and press their palms against an iceberg while learning of countless stories of the maiden voyage.

The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) and Nature Vancouver proudly present the illuminating exhibition, Wild Things: The Power of Nature in Our Lives, on display from June 28, 2018 to September 2019.

Co-curated by Viviane Gosselin, Director of Collections & Exhibitions at MOV and Lee Beavington of Nature Vancouver, this exhibition delves into the life stories of local animals and plants—how they relate to each other and how they connect people to nature in the city. Scenic design, videos, taxidermy, crowd-sourcing technologies, and the display of natural specimens breathe life into these tales of co-habitation. The immersive nature of the exhibition, including hands-on activities, encourages visitors to examine their relationship with nature, think about momentarily disconnecting from their devices, and find equilibrium with the natural world around them.
