Queens is routinely described as the most linguistically diverse place on the planet, and this is the county farm's attempt to put that on a plate for one day - vendors and cultural presentations spread across the farm grounds rather than confined to a food-hall row. It runs on a single Sunday, outdoors, with the farm's animals and fields as the backdrop. If you want to eat your way around the borough without crossing it on the 7 train, this is the compressed version.
What to expect
Outdoor vendor stalls and cultural performances across the farm grounds through the day, alongside the farm's usual livestock and growing fields. It is a walk-around, eat-standing format. Expect queues at the most popular stalls around lunchtime.
Good to know
- Take the E or F to Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike then the Q46 bus to Little Neck Parkway
- One day only, and the lunchtime stretch is the busiest
- Bring cash - not every stall takes cards
- Come hungry and plan to graze across several vendors rather than commit to one
- Grounds are flat and stroller-manageable
- Entirely outdoors, so check the forecast
