Hey New Yorkers, ever hit that weekend rut where everything starts to feel the same? You’ve brunched your way through the boroughs, wandered the usual markets, maybe even circled the same vintage racks a few too many times. If you’re craving something a little different, let us put you onto something: FAD Market.
It’s not your typical craft fair or flea market. Artists, designers, and makers of all specialties come together to share what they do best. Every time it pops up, it feels fresh. You’ll find pieces you didn’t know you needed and stories you’ll want to take home with you. And really, what’s more New York than that?
What is FAD Market?
Short for Fashion, Art, and Design, FAD Market is a seasonal pop-up that brings together independent artists and makers from all walks of life. Shoppers will see handcrafted jewelry, small-batch skincare, locally made clothing, one-of-a-kind home goods, and even artisanal snacks to keep your shopping stamina strong.
Launched back in 2016, FAD Market has made its way through some of NYC’s most iconic spots. It’s a chance to meet the people behind the fab products, hear their stories, and maybe even pick up a new favorite piece you can’t find anywhere else.
FAD Market has become a go-to for anyone craving creativity, culture, and community, all in one place.

Why You Should Go
Maybe you’re on the hunt for a birthday gift that’s actually thoughtful. Or maybe you just want to treat yourself to something different and handmade. Or honestly, maybe you’re just looking for an excuse to browse and find something unexpected. FAD Market is that kind of place.
It’s laid-back, open to everyone, and completely free to check out. You don’t have to spend a dime to enjoy it, but good luck walking out empty-handed.
You’ll meet the makers behind the goods, hear the stories behind the crafts, and feel that energy that only comes from real people doing what they love. That’s what keeps FAD Market feeling fresh every time it pops up somewhere new. It’s well worth the trip, every time.
