THE COMMERCIAL STREET NIGHT MARKET RETURNS!

The Commercial Street Night Market brings life, colour and the sounds of summer to downtown Nanaimo. Over 11 weeks, the Market will host nearly 200 artisan vendors, more than a dozen food trucks, multiple musical entertainers, and a kids’ zone creating a festive family vibe. The Night Market was created to bring locals and tourists into the heart of our city to showcase our local restaurants and businesses. The artisan vendors help demonstrate the creative community you’ll find in the mid-Island.

The Commercial Street Night Market is located on the traditional, unceded territory of Snuneymuxw First Nation and we pay respect for the opportunity to live, work, and host this event on their land.

T Starting June 13th, and every Thursday evening until August 22nd, downtown Nanaimo will buzz with excitement as the Commercial Street Night Market kicks off its 11-week extravaganza!

This summer, join locals and tourists for unforgettable nights filled with vibrant colors, mouthwatering food, live music, and family-friendly fun.

With nearly 200 artisan vendors, over a dozen food trucks, captivating performances, and a dedicated kids’ zone, the market offers a festive atmosphere for all ages.

This year, the market proudly introduces its Inclusive Space at the downtown Vancouver Island Regional Library, offering a welcoming environment for individuals with neurodiverse needs.
