Claim
hosted the night market in 2008 and has continued to do so
Correction
This is outdated. The second Richmond market on Vulcan Way did not continue operating indefinitely; it was reported permanently cancelled in 2018.
Full reasoning
The sentence says the other promoter "has continued to do so," implying the rival market kept operating. But reporting from 2018 says that market ended.
- Daily Hive reported in March 2018 that the Illumination Summer Night Market on Vulcan Way "will not be happening this year" and that a former major contractor said it was "permanently closed" and would not reopen.
- 604 Now likewise reported that the Richmond Summer Night Market had been "cancelled indefinitely" and that organizers said they did not plan to reinstate the market in the future.
So the claim that this promoter "has continued to do so" is no longer accurate.
