Brooklyn’s holiday markets are where you’ll find the most independent, design-forward gifts in New York. Most run on weekends in December, often in converted warehouses and industrial spaces. Here’s what to expect for 2026; many markets announce exact dates in November, so we list recent dates for reference.
Williamsburg Winter Village
A ticketed weekend winter village (about $11.50 entry last season) at 151 Banker St on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border, with local makers, food and live music on Fridays to Sundays through December.
Brooklyn Flea Holiday Market (DUMBO)
Vintage, antiques, clothing and food under the Manhattan Bridge at 80 Pearl St, on weekends through mid-to-late December (2025: weekends through Dec 21, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.). Combine it with the DUMBO tree.

- Most markets run on weekends only; check dates before you go.
- Arrive near opening for the best selection and calmer aisles.
- Bring a tote bag; many vendors are cutting packaging.
- Ask vendors about shipping if you’re traveling.
- Combine two neighborhoods in a day, such as DUMBO and Williamsburg, which are a short ferry or subway ride apart.
Getting Between Markets
The NYC Ferry’s East River route connects DUMBO and Williamsburg along the waterfront and is a scenic way to market-hop. The subway also connects the neighborhoods, though trips between them may require a transfer.
