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.

It’s the most wonderful dine of the year! Dine Around Downtown hosted by Downtown Alliance returns to 28 Liberty Plaza with 40 of Lower Manhattan’s best restaurants for their annual lunch festival.

Newbies and fan favorites alike will be serving up their signature dishes from 11am – 3pm. Entry is free and all plates are priced under $7.

Full menu is available here:

And, if you post a photo of your plate at Dine Around with #DownIsWhatsUp, you’ll be entered to win a staycation for two in Lower Manhattan. The staycation includes a two-night weekend stay for two at the Conrad New York Hotel, a $250 gift certificate to the hotel’s restaurant ATRIO, complimentary breakfast and two free Prosecco Pops at the Loopy Doopy Rooftop bar.

A 52” flat screen TV will also be raffled off, and the Alliance prize wheel will be there so attendees can walk away with some cool DowntownNYC swag.

Come hungry!

A Day For Our Hardest Workers

Häagen-Dazs is dedicating this Free Cone Day to our buzziest workers- the honey bees. In recent years, the honey bee population has been disappearing at an alarming rate, affecting pollination and putting our food system at risk. For the past decade, Häagen-Dazs has been a big defender of honey bees who help us create our most beloved flavors like Strawberry, Rocky Road and Mango. As a part of the “Häagen-Dazs loves Honey Bees Initiative”, they hope to give our flying friends some much needed recognition this Free Cone Day.

How You Can Help

• Support the buzz by visiting a Häagen-Dazs shop for Free Cone Day
• Donate to further the research about the bees and how best to protect their habitat
• Bee a friend of the bees and spread the word

Come Join Us!

Claim your free cone by visiting a participating shop near you between 4-8pm on May 8th. Share your Free Cone Day fun with #HDFreeConeDay, and you could be featured on our Instagram!
