Key Details About the Upcoming Smorgasburg Event

Inspired by the Brooklyn Flea Market, Smorgasburg was started in 2011 as a spin-off. It is a food-focused event and allows independent vendors and chefs to showcase their flavors and talent through their menus.

Over the years, the market has grown into a major food event in New York City, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Miami. The event has also helped several vendors expand into permanent restaurants or larger food businesses.

The event features both returning vendors and new food businesses each season.

As the new season approaches, Smorgasburg is once again preparing to welcome thousands of visitors looking to explore Brooklyn’s vibrant street food scene.
