Get ready to shop 'til you drop because Urbanspace is about to unveil its largest, longest market ever. More than 175 local vendors will showcase their handcrafted products, including art, jewelry, food, and more, in Bryant Park this spring as part of the Makers Market by Urbanspace

The pop-up market opens on Friday, April 18, and runs on weekends through June 1; the market will be open on Fridays-Sundays from 11am-7pm, as well as Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. Expect to find new vendors—including sellers of eco-friendly personal care products, handcrafted mosaic art, and chic home decor—along with longtime favorites.

Set against the iconic backdrop of Bryant Park, this al fresco market makes for an ideal spring shopping experience, spotlighting a diverse array of talented artisans, designers, and creators. Given the ever-larger gap left by national chains and delivery-only brands, Urbanspace focuses on authenticity and experience. Each pop-up is purposefully designed for local community building, brought to life by local entrepreneurs. Basically, they make shopping in midtown fun again.

"New York's maker community is incredibly vibrant and inspiring, and we're thrilled to return to Bryant Park, a beloved space where these local entrepreneurs can share their craft with visitors and locals alike," Eldon Scott, president of Urbanspace, said in a press release. "With 175 vendors and a longer run than years past, this year's market is a testament to the growing demand for unique and locally made goods in the heart of Manhattan."
