Join the founder of the the Queens International Night Market (or someone from his team) to walk through the market while it is open this Saturday night. The night market is a celebration of the ethnic and cultural diversity that makes Queens and NYC so great. Through the vendors, the food, the art and merchandise, the free performances, and also through the visitors, our mission is to highlight the rich international tapestry of NYC.

The $5 price cap on food helps ensure that the event is uniquely accessible to as broad a demographic as possible. The 6pm-midnight operating hours make it an affordable, family-friendly alternative to the bar and restaurant scene.

The Night Market has been a popular (and at times too popular) addition to the cultural landscape of Queens and NYC. In its first year, it served as a launching pad for around 75 new entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Time: Saturday, May 6th at 9 PM
