More than 50 independent SWANA and South Asian designers, jewelers, artists, beauty brands and food vendors set up in one Industry City hall for El Souq's first Brooklyn edition. 360 Record Shop spins alongside headliner DJ Mansaf Mama, turning a shopping trip into a daytime party. If you like discovering small brands before they blow up, this is a strong Sunset Park stop.

What to expect

Rows of vendor tables across fashion, jewelry, home goods, art and beauty, with food stalls and DJs keeping the room lively. It is laid out as a marketplace-meets-hangout, so people linger and browse rather than rush through.
