When the weather gets a little cooler, your natural inclination may be to hibernate in the comfort of your own home, sipping on something warm, curled up with games, a book, or a film. But with so much happening in the community this autumn, you would miss some great moments to make memories with your friends and family. Throw on a sweater (and maybe a rain coat) and check out some of these fantastic events throughout Metro Vancouver.

Richmond Night Market

The largest and longest running night market in North America continues on weekends until October 10^th. This year, the market features a Magical Dino Park, along with its selection of colourful vendors and entertainment.
