NYC Holiday Markets

Bryant Park has gone first, as it does every year: the Bank of America Winter Village opens October 28, 2026, with the Holiday Shops running to January 3, 2027 and the free-admission rink to February 28, 2027. The Urbanspace markets — Union Square, Columbus Circle, and the Herald Holiday Market that joined them last season — have all confirmed they are returning in 2026 but none has published its dates yet. Admission is free at every one of them.
