Calling All New Yorkers: The Bronx Night Market is back!
The Bronx Night Market will return for its 9th year, only this time with a twist! Going forward, the event will be held biannually on May 9th & October 10th from 12-7PM. In its previous eight editions, it took place on the last Saturday of the month from April to November at 4-10 PM. It was originally located in Fordham Plaza, Bronx, next to Fordham University, but the open-air market will also be relocating. It is set to be held on 161st Street and Grand Concourse Avenue in the Bronx, which is a five-minute walk to both Yankee Stadium (pictured below) and the Bronx Museum of Art.
Since 2017, the Night Market has been a staple in the Bronx, combining food and culture to create an energetic, community-centered, family-friendly vibe. The market is the epitome of what New York City is: a melting pot full of vastly different cultures that come together to form something more. Vendors will be represented from 50+ different cultures, including Puerto Rican, Dominican, Asian, American, Caribbean, and many more. The Bronx Night Market looks to elevate local businesses and encourage public participation. It will feature dozens of sponsored activities with prizes designed for family-oriented fun.
In addition to a plethora of food and merchandise options, there will be over 10 local musicians and live cultural performances to highlight the men and women up and coming in the musical industry. It will be headlined by Son con Tres, a Latin pop band, Morrisania Band Project, a multi-ethnic rock/soul group, and DJ Riddim, an NYC-based Caribbean DJ.
The event is hosted by We Eat Here, an Urban food and cultural intelligence group that is focused on promoting small businesses and showcasing culture from around the world. Founder of both the Bronx Night Market and We Eat Here, Marco Shalma is determined to make this event a success.
“In 2026, we are bringing it back to the Concourse with two dates that feel inevitable. Fifty vendors. Twenty community groups. Ten thousand people each edition. The Bronx eats here.”
