Harlem Night Market

Guess who’s baaaaack! And bigger than ever. That’s right, the Harlem Night Market is returning to the historic La Marqueta this December 17-19.

Join us the last weekend before Christmas to celebrate the best food, makers and music from across East and West Harlem. This year we’ve expanded to include more vendors than ever in the stalls at La Marqueta, plus Santa and family-friendly activities by El Museo del Barrio at Urban Garden Center.

MAP & DIRECTIONS:

Walk the length of La Marqueta under the tracks at Park Avenue: Start at 117th Street and wind your way through the evergreen trees, vendors and family space at Urban Garden Center. At 116th Street, enter La Placita for even more vendors and our Mainstage. 115th will be a temporary Open Street with outdoor seating. From there, you can enter the traditional La Marqueta retail market, where the stalls will be packed with more vendors than ever. See below for the map!

Proof of vaccination and ID are required to enter the indoor spaces of the market (La Placita and La Marqueta), and face coverings must be worn except when eating and drinking.
