EL BARRIO HAS A LONG HISTORY OF USING ITS STREETS AS GATHERING SPACES. JOIN US TO CONTINUE THE LEGACY WITH OPEN STREETS 2022. JOIN US FOR OUTDOOR DINING, STREET GAMES & FAMILY FUN … PLUS A HOT SALSA SCENE ON SATURDAYS!

La Marqueta is part of New York City’s public market system, and for decades was packed with hundreds of vendors and the destination for nearly everyone Uptown do their shopping. In the decades since, it’s become home to a kitchen incubator and emerging small businesses. Plus Salsa Saturdays that attract salsa veterans and the best dance bands from across the five boroughs all summer long.

Open Streets at La Marqueta will be open on Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. each day. There’ll always be tables for outdoor dining, sidewalk chalk and beanbag toss for the kids, plus our outdoor reading room and artmaking. And Salsa on Saturdays inside La Placita, the enclosed space adjacent to the Open Street.

Each weekend will feature special events as well. Click through to the Open Streets page for this week’s schedule of fun.
