What is ‘We Started Here’?

Since the beginning, Hester Street Fair has proudly been an accessible location for new businesses can be launched and their first dollar can be made. We've done this for years and years and have had the pleasure of watching our vendors move from the white tents that we provide to full-on brick n' mortars; Businesses including Fat Radish, Kopitiam, Arancini Bros, Macaron Parlour, Noona's Ice Cream, and more recently, LES-shopping staples Leisure Center, Bowery Showroom, Rogue Garms, Partybus Bakeshop, and Tagmo.

Our ‘We Started Here’ profiles are a weekly spotlight on the vendors who've launched with us. Whether they opened up shop for the first time ever at the fair, or started online (as most do now), and made their first in-person sale at our fair, we are telling their stories.
