The Richmond Night Market is the shared-skewer date perfected: more than a hundred food stalls run from rotato spirals to tanghulu to grilled squid, and the whole point is ordering small and often, trading bites as you go. Between courses there are carnival games, a lot of neon, and the particular joy of a crowd that is entirely there for dinner. It runs Friday and Saturday nights to midnight and Sundays to eleven, right beside Bridgeport SkyTrain, so nobody has to be the driver. Entry is under ten dollars; bring cash-app patience for the popular stalls.

Every September the Vancouver Fringe takes over Granville Island's theatres, back rooms, and pop-up stages with uncurated, unjuried performance: comedy, one-person plays, dance, the genuinely strange. Shows run about sixty minutes and cost little, so the whole date is picking two wildly different things and comparing notes between them. The 2026 festival runs September 10 to 20. Buy a membership button once, then individual tickets per show.

Jimmy Carr brings his scalpel-sharp comedy to Rogers Arena on Friday, September 18, where he'll surgically dissect everything from politics to the human condition with the warmth of a tax auditor. Vancouver crowds should prepare their defenses; Carr's jokes land with the precision of someone who's made a career of saying what polite society wishes it could.
