If you’ve ever found yourself toggling between five different websites at 11 p.m. on a Friday — Smorgasburg, Brooklyn Flea, Hester Street Fair, Grand Bazaar, Artists & Fleas — trying to figure out which market is on this Saturday and who’s selling what, we built something for you.

Today we’re launching NYC Weekend Markets, the first cross-borough calendar of every major pop-up, flea, craft fair, and open-studio weekend happening in New York City. Filter by borough, category, and price. See vendor lists for the markets that publish them. Get back to your Saturday plans.

What it covers

The calendar currently tracks 104 upcoming events across the next 12 weeks. That includes the weekly recurring giants — Smorgasburg’s Saturdays in Williamsburg and Fridays at the World Trade Center, Brooklyn Flea’s Williamsburg and DUMBO rotations, Hester Street Fair every Saturday on the Lower East Side, Grand Bazaar on the Upper West Side every Sunday, and Artists & Fleas in Williamsburg both weekend days — alongside the one-off events that everyone forgets about until they’re already past: Renegade Craft Fair in Greenpoint (June 14–15), Markets For Makers at Industry City (October 17–18), and the entire fall open-studios cluster (Bushwick September 26–28, Gowanus October 18–19, DUMBO November 7–8).

The holiday markets are already loaded too — Bryant Park Winter Village opens October 31, Union Square Holiday Market on November 20, Columbus Circle on December 1.

Vendor-level discovery — where it goes deeper

The piece nobody else does: actual vendor lists, not just market names.

For markets that publish their lineup publicly, we pull the vendor roster and group it by category — food, ceramics, jewelry, leather, apparel — so you can see at a glance whether a given Saturday is worth the L train ride. As of this morning:

  • Smorgasburg — 68 vendors across both Williamsburg and WTC weekends, grouped by food/drink
  • Artists & Fleas Williamsburg — 18 vendors across jewelry, apparel, ceramics, and home goods
  • Markets For Makers Brooklyn — 5 confirmed for the October fair (with more added closer to the date)
  • Grand Bazaar NYC — antique and vintage vendor catalog

Each vendor links to their Instagram if it’s listed, so you can decide whether to make the trip before you leave the house. Markets that don’t publish a public list — Brooklyn Flea, Hester, Renegade — get a “vendor list coming soon” placeholder until the organizers post their lineup closer to the date.

Each market has its own page

Beyond the master calendar, every market now has a permanent profile page with full vendor list, all upcoming dates, a map link, and the official site. A few examples:

Updated every Thursday

The calendar refreshes automatically every Thursday morning for the upcoming weekend — and again for the next 12 weeks of recurring market instances. Vendor lists re-pull at the same time. So if Smorgasburg drops a new vendor on Thursday night, you’ll see it Friday morning when you’re deciding where to spend Saturday.

What’s coming next

We’re building this iteratively based on what people actually use. Next on the list:

  • Vendor search across all markets — “show me every NYC ceramicist at any market this month”
  • Weekly Markets newsletter — Friday morning email with the weekend’s lineup tailored to your borough
  • Studio map for fall Open Studios — one consolidated map for Bushwick + Gowanus + DUMBO instead of three separate sites

Running a market or pop-up?

If you’re organizing a NYC market, pop-up, or craft fair we haven’t included, submit it here — we’ll add it to the next Thursday update. Free, no listing fee. We update the calendar weekly so timing doesn’t matter.

If you’re a maker with a permanent booth at one of these markets, we’re working on a vendor directory next — and your booth presence is the source data. Get featured.
