Still looking for holiday gifts? Browse the stalls at Union Square, stop for a bite, and make the market part of an afternoon exploring Manhattan.
What to expect
The Union Square Holiday Market has been around since 1993. It brings together small businesses, craftspeople, and designers, with handmade gifts to browse and vendors to meet.
You’ll find the stalls at the southern end of Union Square Park, near 14th Street. Food and drink vendors make it easy to stop for a snack while you explore. You don’t need a shopping list to enjoy a wander through the market.
Good to know
- Admission is free. Food, drinks, and purchases cost extra.
- The market is outdoors, so dress warmly for browsing.
- The year-round Union Square Greenmarket is a separate market with its own schedule.
