Dubbed “the Woodstock of Eating,” by The New York Times, Smorgasburg is the largest weekly open-air food market in America, welcoming more than 2 million visitors a year to markets in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
Smorgasburg (a mash-up of “smorgasbord” and “Williamsburg”) launched in May 2011, spinning off from the success of food vendors at the Brooklyn Flea. It has since incubated hundreds of independent businesses vending food and drink from around the world. From this platform, many have found success as multi-year, stalwart vendors — as well as gone on to thrive as brick and mortar shops, restaurants and packaged goods brands.
Past Smorgasburg expansions have included season-long markets in Jersey City, New Jersey; Toronto, Ontario; Kingston, NY; and Washington, D.C; recurring pop-ups in Osaka, Japan and Sao Paulo, Brazil; and more. In New York, Smorgasburg operates the concessions at BRIC’s popular Celebrate Brooklyn! live performance series in Prospect Park each season, and has activated its unique food festival experience in partnership with numerous other cultural institutions and brands.
Smorgasburg’s New York locations — at the Oculus at World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, the original Williamsburg waterfront location, and at Breeze Hill in Prospect Park — operate every weekend from April through October.
