This year’s events have been adapted to fit NYC’s ongoing adaptations with Covid-19. Our tents will remain spaced out, we’ll continue to provide free PPE, and we will encourage our visitors to have a mask on hand for the times when they can not socially distance themselves while shopping from our vendors.
