Night Market Features

Dining
Skip dinner before heading to the night market, as there are typically 30+ local food trucks and food vendors set up in ‘hot food alley.’ New to the market this year are unique food trucks like the vegan double decker Buddha-Bus from the owners of Buddha-Full, the Chowdery and Truckin BBQ. Some returning favorites include Reel Mac & Cheese, Rolling Cashew, Tacofino, Mama’s Fish & Chips, Taters and Urban Wood Fired Pizza. Visitors should leave room for desserts such as Pocket Pies, Dolce Amore gelato, Chouchou Crepes, Kettle Corn, Slavic Rolls and more.

Beer Garden (must be 19+ to enter)
Selections include local craft beer from a variety of local breweries including Bomber Brewing, vodka and gin sodas from Nude, red and white wine, and cider. With a 350-person capacity, there are plenty of seats with a great view of the stage and each evenings’ headlining band.

Shopping & Entertainment
The Shipyards Friday Night Market believes in a local lifestyle and in showcasing BC’s artistic and culinary artisans. The artisan marketplace, which is both inside The Pipe Shop and outdoors, features products such as jewelry, clothing, kids wear, baked goods, distilleries, cideries, preserves, soaps, plants, chocolate and more. New this year is a used book trailer. Need more to do? Along with some fun kids’ entertainment, catch the weekly changing line up of BC bands and dance under the sun, and later, the stars.
