Public Markets Serving as Community’s Civic Center
04/20/2022
We have all seen the very powerful positive impact that open-air, bustling public markets have had in shaping neighborhoods and our cities. I certainly saw this firsthand during my years at Union Square with the great success of the Greenmarket. And when I was President of Charlotte Center City Partners, I created a public market that in many ways served as the neighborhood civic center – a great gathering place on Saturday mornings.
On Saturday April 30th at 1:00 PM, the Bronx Night Market returns to Fordham Plaza in the Bronx – bigger and better than ever with more than 50 food and crafts vendors.
At this free monthly open-air market, you can indulge in some of the city’s tastiest bites including fan-favorites Perros Locos, The Bronx Burger Company; Cupcake Me!, Twister Cakes, and Sam’s Fried Ice Cream (Hungry yet?).
Patrons can also find jewelry, arts & crafts vendors. And you can listen to live music performances and watching dancers take center stage at this all-encompassing event.
So spread the word, let everyone know – The Bronx Night Market is back starting Saturday, April 30th beginning at 1:00 PM. For more information, go to, www.theBronxNightMarket.com
