FAQ
Does it cost money and or do you have to rsvp to attend?
No. The Harlem Night Market is free and open to the public.
Is it an outdoor market?
Yes and no. The market is in a large event space underneath the Park Ave Metro North train trestle. It is covered and walled in, but it is still susceptible to outside temperatures.
Are pets allowed?
Sorry. No pets are allowed in the market.
How many people attend each night?
We generally expect between 900-1200 guests per night who come ready to shop, eat, drink and party.
What accessibility accommodations and restrooms are available?
The Harlem Night Market’s event space is fully wheelchair accessible. It also has wheelchair accessible bathrooms for men and women.
Does the market operate in rain or snow.
We have never cancelled because of rain or snow, but reserve the option in case of severe weather. We want to keep our vendors safe, and in extreme conditions, it’s possible that a market could be cancelled.
How much does it cost to vend?
For many years, it has been free to vend at the Harlem Night Market. We’ve added fees, but still try to keep them very low. For hot food vendors, the fee is $55 per night. For makers and packaged food vendors, the fee is $35.
What kind of vendors are you looking for?
We are looking for ALL types of vendors. From makers to food, desserts, and drinks. We always look for, and give preference to, unique and/or cultural hot food vendors. We seek vendors who make their own products (not resellers) and we try to incorporate everything from fashion and jewelry to art, books, and games among others.
Can vendors vend all three Saturdays?
The short answer is yes but we try to give access to the market to as many vendors as possible so it’s only in rare instances that a vendor will get all three nights. We are more likely to assign, even our favorite vendors, two nights.
Do you have to be from Harlem to vend?
No. We try to give preference to vendors from Harlem, but it’s not a requirement. We’ve has plenty of great vendors from throughout the boroughs and surrounding states.
What do you provide to vendors?
We generally provide a 6x2.5 foot table and a chair to all vendors. Hot food vendors get two tables and two electrical outlets. (You must let us know if you need more electrical outlets) Vendors are responsible for all other aspects of their presentations.
How is the market curated?
We do our best to curate the Harlem Night Market in ways that don’t put the same type of makers or food vendors next to each other and/or in the same market.
What time is load in for vendors?
From 1:30 to 2:30 and be ready to sell by 3pm. If you need more time, it’s okay to come a bit earlier. Overall, you should base your arrival on how long it takes you to set up and be ready to sell by 3pm.
