Nine blocks of Sixth Avenue go car-free from 14th to 23rd Street for one of the last big street fairs of the summer. Expect the full New York fair spread — vendor booths, crafts, and food stands hawking classic fair staples — strolling distance from both Chelsea and the Flatiron. It runs rain or shine from 10 to 6, so Sunday plans can lean on it whatever the forecast does.
What to expect
A classic New York avenue fair: nine blocks of vendor booths selling crafts, clothing, and accessories, broken up by food stands working the standard fair repertoire. Foot traffic builds through midday, so go early for elbow room or midafternoon for peak people-watching.
Good to know
- Runs rain or shine, 10 AM–6 PM
- Enter anywhere along the route — the F/M, L, and 1/2/3 trains all land within a block of the stretch
- Bring some cash for smaller vendors
- Sixth Avenue is closed to traffic between 14th and 23rd for the day — plan crosstown drives around it
