In addition to the food, also check out live performances by local musicians, artists and entertainers. The opening day will include performers such as the Harlemites P.U.S.H dance organization, the all-female New Heights Brass Band, Manny's Boogaloo Crew and a back-to-back set by DJ Cosi and DJ Stormin Norman.

The outdoor pop-up hosted by hospitality group MHG focuses on supporting small businesses, promoting local entrepreneurship, and providing a platform for up-and-coming vendors to showcase their products and services.

"The Uptown Night Market is a celebration of the vibrant community here in West Harlem," Marco Shalma, MHG events' owner, said in a statement. "We are excited to bring together local small businesses, delicious food, and entertainment, all while supporting our community."
