The Queens Night Market recently wrapped up another successful season in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, taking a much-deserved little break for the past few weeks, only to return beginning this Saturday for a five-week fall season back in the shadow of the New York Hall of Science. The now annual market, which marked three years in 2017, hosts a wide variety of cuisines while simultaneously keeping the price points low.
This autumn's encampment, which runs Saturdays beginning at 6 p.m. through October 28th, will offer a similarly diverse lineup, boasting vendors from all over Asian and South America, as well as vendors from Nigeria, Ukraine, Romania, Italy, and beyond. Food items are capped at $5 for nearly all of the vendors—the absolutely top-out is $6—and the beer and wine garden will also cost no more than $5 per drink.
Though the food remains one of the larger draws, the Market also hosts a lineup of non-edible merchandise and art vendors, selling things including candles, arts, comics, toys, beauty items, jewelry and apparel. Look at the full lineup of both edible and inedible food vendors below.
Finally, the Market provides an opportunity for one last hurrah out-of-doors before the frost sets in. There will be carnival-type games plus a lineup of DJs and live performers including indie rock, blues, jazz and a Bengali dance troop. There's also a Halloween party planned for the final night of the market, with costume swaps for kids running both the penultimate and final market nights of the year. Find out more by following the Market's Facebook page.
Though the Market is free to enter, opening night brings a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society in honor of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Volunteers will be on-site asking visitors for a $5 suggested donation, 100% of which will be donated to funding breast cancer research.
New York Hall of Science, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, 47-01 111th Street, Corona, New York
