A kickstarter campaign has been created to bring a Queens International Night Market
to NYC.
Here's some more information:
Night Markets are all over Asia, in parts of Africa, Latin America, and Western Europe. They are increasingly and successfully popping up in North American cities, including LA, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Vancouver, and Toronto.
It’s about time NYC got its own night market!
What: The Queens International Night Market will be a large, family-friendly open-air night market in Queens, featuring over 100 independent vendors selling merchandise, art, and food and featuring small-scale cultural performances and entertainment, all celebrating the rich cultural diversity and heritage of NYC and Queens.
When: Saturdays, 6PM-Midnight, from April to October 2015.
Where: Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens – Ideally at the New York Hall of Science for most Saturdays.
Visitors: We will attract thousands of visitors of all ages and demographics and provide them the opportunity to shop, eat and, most importantly, meet members of the community, hear their stories, and learn about their heritage and cultural influences, as represented by their art, merchandise, or food.
