Known as a celebration of the cultural diversity of NYC and Queens, the Queens Night Market will be returning April 12 for its ninth season at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Over the past few years, the open-air night market has averaged over 15,000 attendees every week, helped launch 350 new businesses in NYC and represented more than 90 countries through their vendors and performers. Taking place every Saturday night starting April 12, and with food prices capped at $5/$6, it is a great family friendly event. This year, the Night Market will be featuring as many as 100 independent vendors selling everything from food, to art, to merchandise, and will of course include many cultural performances throughout the season.
Some of the food offerings you can expect this year include Korean-style Jjajangmyeon, Colombian arepas, Romanian-Hungarian Chimney Cake, and so many other cuisines from around the world. Other non-food vendors include small-batch soap and candles, henna, international handmade items, ceramics, and even vintage apparel.
