Queens Night Market
The Queens Night Market is New York City's first night market. The event launched in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens in April 2015, and operates on Saturday nights from April through October.
The event averages over 10,000 visitors on Saturday nights.
The market hosts independent vendors each night, selling food, art, and merchandise; as of 2019, it has featured food from over 80 countries. When it launched in 2015, it introduced a $5 price cap on all food available for sale at the event. The price cap has since been raised to $6.
A cookbook with vendor stories and recipes, The World Eats Here: Amazing Food and the Inspiring People Who Make It at New York's Queens Night Market by John Wang and Storm Garner, was published in 2020.
The event has ATMs, sells beer and wine, and hosts live entertainment each Saturday night. To date, the event has hosted approximately 200 free live performances.
The event has been paused during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.
