Queens Night Market Ends Its 2026 Season on October 31

Queens Night Market sets up every Saturday behind the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and October 31 is the last night of its 2026 season. More than 100 independent vendors line the lot with food, art and merchandise. The finale doubles as the market's annual Halloween night, with trick or treating and costume competitions on the program. Exact times for those segments are still to come from the organizers, worth checking before you leave home.

Admission is free, and most dishes are capped at 5 dollars, with a few at 6. Most vendors work mainly in cash, though some take cards or mobile payments, and several ATMs sit on site for a quick top up. Walk one full loop of the lot before ordering, then split plates within your group to cover more ground. The market posts its vendor list on its website, a quick way to shortlist a few stalls before heading out.

The market runs from 4 PM to midnight on Saturday, October 31, behind the New York Hall of Science. Take the 7 train to 111th Street and walk south four blocks, past the overpass, to reach the lot. Driving adds a 15 dollar charge at the adjacent parking lot, which the market does not operate. It suits groups who want a casual night of grazing on a budget. Anyone after a seated dinner should book a restaurant instead.
