Featuring live music and tons of food vendors, this feels like one of the liveliest holiday markets in New York City.

Opened in 2019, The Harlem Nigh Market pays homage to the 1950s when locals relied on pushcart vendors and merchants at the neighborhood market (La Marqueta) for their shopping.

Stalls packed to the brim with everything from spices and vegetables to traditional medicine and fresh fish, the area’s large Latinx community was dependent on the 500 vendors that made up the market.

Fast forward today and the new Harlem Night Market continues to celebrate the local community by highlighting talented residents selling artisan goods. Open the first three Saturdays of December (from 4-8pm), vendors kick it up a notch with Christmas-themed trinkets and treats.
