We are delighted to bring you another season of the fair this season, offering a space to celebrate and be together in ease and creativity despite all that 2020 has thrown at us so far. This year’s events have been adapted to fit NYC’s safety guidelines: Vendors will be 6 ft. apart, we’ve lowered our capacity, and we will have multiple hand washing and sanitizing stations throughout the park. Masks and a contactless temperature check at the door are mandatory.
