Bronx Night Market Brings Out Borough’s Culinary Bests

From the South Bronx to Riverdale, more than 30 vendors from all over the borough are expected to showcase the best culinary fare amid the backdrop of live music and the frenetic pace of Fordham.

The Bronx Night Market is expected to take place on July 28 beginning at 4 p.m. The joint collaborative effort is being hosted by Edible Bronx and Blox NYC in conjunction with the Fordham Road Business Improvement District. The Fordham Road BID manages Fordham Plaza, the city-owned property falling under the Transportation Department.

While food will be the standout attraction of the event, guests can expect to see merchandisers and musicians dotted about the plaza. Half the vendors will be from the Bronx, according to organizers.

So-called Night Markets are a global trend, according to organizers. In New York City, the nighttime soiree was seen in Queens.

The outdoor event runs from 4 to 10 p.m. and runs every last Saturday of each month through October, rain or shine.
