Forking Delicious Things You Might Find at
the Lucky Lion Night Market 🦁
The Lucky Lion “Night” Market and Food Festival returns to Hamilton’s Bayfront Park this weekend - running from August 2nd to 4th. Though they call themselves a night market, it’s really just a tasty festival that runs all day, into the evening, and - best of all - it’s free to get in!
The first Lucky Lion Hamilton event of the year took place in May, and it was a feast for the senses. From spectacular foods that you can’t find anywhere else in the city, to lion dancers and performances - Lucky Lion is definitely unique!
Though the vendor list and schedule for the weekend has not yet been released, here are 5 delicious things that you may find at this weekend’s Lucky Lion event:
Noodles
You can't have a food festival without noodles, and Lucky Lion has them in droves. From the ever-popular Pan Pan Sesame Noodles (try them spicy or mild), to Pad Thai done in a giant wok - street food style - and a new thick Udon offering. Lucky Lion will have your noodle dreams coming true!
Specialty Drinks
From options like Thai Iced Tea in a pouch, to sweet sugarcane juice freshly pressed, and Bing Fen dessert drinks with tapioca and jelly, there is no shortage of delicious drinks to wet your whistle with.
Seafood
If seafood is your thing, you have come to the right place. Spicy squid on a stick, a seafood noodle soup in a flavourful broth, or grilled oysters and scallops. There are many dishes "from the sea" to enjoy!
Vegetarian Options
The festival caters to both meat/seafood lovers but also has a ton of vegetarian options. Veggie options such as Onigiri, Cheese Corn, Fried Potato Balls, and even a brûléed sweet potato option have been available in the past.
Desserts
Sweet tooth? Lucky Lion has you covered with sweet dessert options like mango dishes with sticky rice, bubble waffles, tanghulu candied fruits, and so much more.
This is only a short list of the many spectacular dishes you might find at the Lucky Lion Night Market. They boast over 100+ food items to be found at Lucky Lion. There truly is something for everyone!
