5. Queens Night Market

Queens International Night fair vendors

The Queens Night Market opens for the 2023 season on Saturday, May 13th! Set up outside the New York Hall of Science, a remnant of the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the fair features more than 100 independent vendors selling merchandise, art, and food.

The fair represents the diversity of Queens and highlights cultural performances alongside mouthwatering dishes. If you can’t make it out to the night market but still wants a taste, you can order a cookbook inspired by the foods of the fair called The World Eats Here.
