The Bronx Night Market has returned for its 2025 season, bringing together some of the borough’s best food, music, and community energy. What started as a small local event has grown into something that truly reflects the Bronx — diverse, creative, and full of life. Each Saturday, Fordham Plaza becomes a space where neighbors, families, and visitors gather to eat, connect, and enjoy the culture that makes this borough unique.
Bronx personal injury lawyers are proud to support local events that help bring people together. We believe community means showing up for each other — at work, at home, and at events like this. That’s why we’re highlighting what you can expect at the Bronx Night Market in 2025.
When and Where
The Bronx Night Market runs every Saturday from April through October, with hours from 12 PM to 7 PM. It’s a weekend tradition that’s easy to plan around.
The market is located at 1 Fordham Plaza, right in the center of the Bronx. It’s a convenient spot, close to Fordham University and just a short walk from the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Garden. The space is open and accessible, and public transportation makes it easy for anyone in the city to get there.
What You’ll Find: Food and Vendors
Each week, the market features a rotating lineup of more than 30 vendors. That means even if you come often, you’ll keep finding something new.
Food choices range from the familiar to the unexpected. Some favorites in past seasons include:
- Mac and cheese fried burritos
- Fried chicken cones
- Watermelon pizza
- Oversized slices of carrot cake
But it’s not just about novelty. What makes the food at Bronx Night Market special is how it reflects the diversity of the Bronx itself. You’ll see dishes rooted in cultures from around the world, often made by small business owners who live right in the neighborhood.
Alongside food, you’ll also find local merchandise, craft vendors, and drinks that give the market a complete, street-fair feel without the chaos of bigger city events.
Why It Matters: Small Business and Community Support
The Bronx Night Market doesn’t just give visitors a place to eat and hang out — it gives local businesses a space to grow.
About 70% of vendors are micro, small, POC, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, or women-owned. For many of them, this is one of the most important platforms they have to reach customers and build support.
Beyond business, the market is also about making space for community. There’s always something going on — live music, family-friendly games, and performances that help bring people together in an environment that feels easy and welcoming.
Monthly Themes and Performances
While the food alone makes the Bronx Night Market worth visiting, each month also features special themes or cultural events. These might highlight local holidays, partner with community organizations, or showcase art and music tied to the borough’s many communities.
On top of that, the market regularly features live performances. You might catch a jazz band, a DJ set, spoken word poetry, or even dance groups from local schools or studios. It’s casual, but always high quality — and it makes the atmosphere feel alive from start to finish.
Free, Open, and Easy to Get To
One of the things that makes the Bronx Night Market so successful is that it’s free and open to all ages. You don’t need a ticket, and there’s no pressure to spend money once you’re there. People come to try a few snacks, hear some music, or just enjoy being outside with others.
It’s also easy to reach. Fordham Plaza is served by multiple subway lines, several MTA bus routes, and the Metro-North Railroad, making it accessible whether you’re coming from another part of the Bronx, Manhattan, or beyond.
It’s welcoming, low-key, and built for everyone.

The 2025 Bronx Night Market season is more than a food event — it’s a weekly reminder of what makes the borough great. You’ll find creativity in every dish, care behind every small business, and joy in the simple act of being together.
