This is the locals' Smorgasburg — the same lineup of cult vendors as Williamsburg, but folded into Prospect Park's greenery where you can carry your haul to a shaded lawn instead of jockeying for seawall space. It pairs perfectly with a full park Sunday: the lake loop, LeFrak Center, or the Grand Army Plaza greenmarket in the morning. For families and low-effort hangs, it's the better Smorgasburg.
What to expect
Vendor rows tucked among trees at Breeze Hill with picnic tables and lawns close by. Crowds are gentler than Saturday's Williamsburg edition but favorites still draw lines by early afternoon. Expect global street food, desserts built for photos, and easy stroller access.

Common questions
Is this the same market as the Williamsburg one?
Same operation and largely overlapping vendors — the Prospect Park edition runs Sundays with a calmer, more family-oriented park setting.
Where exactly is it in the park?
At Breeze Hill, near the park's southeast side — the Lincoln Road entrance is the most direct approach.
