We are thrilled to share the exciting success of the inaugural Juneteenth Night Market hosted right here in Southeast Queens. The vibrant event & those that follow are dedicated to showcasing BIPOC businesses by ushering in a tapestry of culture, creativity, and community spirit.


A Celebration of Art and Entrepreneurship

One of the standout features of the night market was the stunning display of art by a local abstract painter Mr.Chris Klien, whose work captivated visitors with its vivid colors and emotive depth. It was truly inspiring to witness the intersection of art and commerce, as attendees immersed themselves in the beauty and storytelling power of local artistic talent.


Diverse Vendors from Across the Diaspora

The heartbeat of any market lies in its vendors, and this event did not disappoint. From delicious treats to handcrafted jewelry reflecting traditions from across the African diaspora, every booth offered a unique glimpse into the interests of the cultures that thrive right here in Queens. It was a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and creativity of BIPOC business owners, who pour their passion into every product and service they share.
