About this event
Rebranded this year from the Uptown Night Market, Harlem's Friday-night street festival takes over the viaduct arches at 133rd Street with more than sixty rotating food vendors — around eighty per cent minority- and women-owned — plus DJs and live performers under the ironwork. Admission costs nothing and there are no tiers or wristbands; you pay only for what you eat and drink.
Why we picked it
The biggest free-entry night food festival uptown, and the most reliable place to eat your way through Harlem's independent kitchens in one evening.
Free entry
Admission is free all seven weeks — no tickets, wristbands or tiered access. Food and drink are paid for separately at vendor stalls.
