We are delighted to bring you another season of the fair this summer, 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, our capacity for vendors and visitors has lowered, and we will have multiple hand washing and sanitizing stations throughout the park. Masks are mandatory.
Special Feature
Anna Khachiyan, host of the Redscare Podcast, and photographer Leia Jospé are coming through our fair for a yard sale! Buy some clothing from a couple of the best dressed girls in the Lower East side. We can’t wait!
