Street fairHoliday MondayDowntown

On the holiday Monday, Broadway below Liberty Street goes car-free for a day of food stalls and vendors, running past Bowling Green and the Charging Bull. It is the downtown street fair for the long weekend, handy if you are heading to the Staten Island Ferry or the Battery. If you are off work and downtown, walk it on the way to the water.

What to expect

Vendor tents fill the closed stretch of Broadway selling street food and goods, with a mix of office-free locals and tourists visiting the Bull. It is a casual browse, not a ticketed event.

Good to know

  • Runs rain or shine, 10am to 6pm
  • Nearest trains: 4/5 to Bowling Green or R/W to Whitehall St
  • The Staten Island Ferry terminal is a short walk south
