While generally Queens Street Fairs begin in April, this year we're going a bit deeper in the Winter quarter [January through March 2024], to identify some of the year round markets, which while not exactly street fairs, contain some of the elements of the street fair experience including an eclectic offering of merchandise and food items.

We've compiled one of THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE of QUEENS street fairs including street fair TIMES & PHOTOS & maps, some street fair names & sponsors, and street fair maps to help you find your way around during the WINTER [NEW in 2024], spring, summer and fall of 2024.

PLEASE IGNORE FOR TIME BEING. Like we did last year, this year we've also included links to maps showing local shops and restaurants, as well as providing links to the home pages of many local shops and merchants. The home pages include slide shows of local store merchandise so you can preview the store online to make best use of your time. #P Many of these merchants will ship / deliver merchandise, so you can call ahead to pick up items or have them delivered [those who deliver or ship will state it on their home page], or you can make lists of things to pick up at local stores online so that while you're out shopping you can make best use of your time. We suggest printing out the online maps to make notes of merchandise that interests you, or click into the online photo album and print out photos.

Window Shop Online & Save Time: Here's How

  • Window shop using the maps, links and home pages on this site
  • Make your lists and / or call ahead for pick up or delivery [where applicable]
  • Go to the store to pick up items and / or to shop / examine the merchandise prior to purchase
  • This makes your day more efficient, hassle-free & leaves more time for you to relax at a local cafe or restaurant ... or at home
