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.

Sunday’s Special Features
We are the official pick-up location for Welcome to Chinatown’s In the Mood for Food event!
In The Mood for Food takes you along the foodie’s footpath from the eyes of a resident. We’re re-imagining the lively experience of eating our way through a night market, the socially-distanced way. Through small bites from local businesses, and stops to witness the spirit that makes Chinatown extraordinary, this block walk is a way for your crew to taste the town, while supporting small businesses and bringing the spirit and unique energy back to Chinatown.
Sweet D x Full Effects are back! This time, you can catch Luke behind his turntables as he’ll be bringing us a day of classics all on vinyl, along with their printed matter & screen printed goodies.
What’s On The Menu?

BabaTruckNY is coming down from Hudson, NY to make their Hester Street Fair debut! Catch them both days this weekend to try their Italian/Caribbean Plant-based Comfort Food, and we’re soooo excited!

Room for sweets? Naturally you’re saving some. We have baked goods by Music, Love, and Chocolate Chips, along with a brand new seasonal menu from our Ice Cream Contest winner Emily Drucker aka DirtyBird Scoops & Sweets.
