HGU New York Celebrates International Coffee Day

Get your appetites ready! The Queens Night Market is back for the summer!! The Queens International Night Market is a large, family-friendly open-air night market in Queens, featuring up to 100 independent vendors selling merchandise, art, and food and featuring small-scale cultural performances, all celebrating the rich cultural diversity and heritage of NYC and Queens.

The market is free admission with the opportunity to take full advantage of the $5 price cap on food — only a handful of dishes will be selling at $6.

Performers on the lineup include: DJ Jordan Knoxx, Test Tracks, and more.

They’ll also be sharing our space with a visiting carnival with fun rides… plus expecting visits from a few special guests!

Plus, they will have our popular Beer & Wine Garden, so bring your IDs if you’re interested in adult beverages! This year, 20% of total ticket sales from “early preview” sessions are being donated to two organizations: Queens Community House, which aims to provide individuals with the necessary tools to enrich and built healthy, inclusive communities, and WhyHunger, dedicated to ending hunger and poverty by connecting people to nutritious and affordable food.

Due to extremely limited available parking, we encourage all visitors to leave their cars at home and commute, bike, or walk to the Night Market.
