Queens Night Market

Queens Night Market takes place in the parking area behind the New York Hall of Science at 47-01 111th Street in Corona. The organizer describes it as an open-air night market for families and visitors of all ages, with more than one hundred independent vendors. The mix spans food, art, and merchandise, alongside small-scale cultural performances. It is seasonal, and the lineup changes during the year.

The 2026 edition runs on Saturdays from April 18 through October 31, 4 p.m. to midnight, with a break during the US Open. General admission is free except for ticketed preview nights. The organizer recommends public transit because parking is limited; the adjacent lot has a separate operator and its rates can change. The market lists the 7 train to 111th Street, followed by a walk to the park, as a subway option.

The market sets a general $5 cap on prepared items, with limited $6 exceptions; check the current policy and each stall’s prices. Most vendors prefer cash, and not all take cards or payment apps. Public Google reviews describe a wide food selection, lively atmosphere, and performances; comments about queues suggest arriving early to try more than one cuisine. Visitors with allergies or dietary restrictions should ask individual vendors because menus and stalls change and the organizer cannot certify every ingredient across the market.
