Open every Saturday, 10am-6pm!
Welcome to the Hester Street Fair. Located at the corner of Hester and Essex Street, the fair celebrates the culture and rich history of the Lower East Side neighborhood.
At the turn of the century, Hester Street was the site of the busiest outdoor market in New York City:
“There is hardly a square foot of ground in Hester Street that is not covered with people during the day. The whole place seems to be in a state of perpetual motion, and the occasional visitor is apt to have a feeling of giddiness.†NY Times, July 27, 1895.
Today, the Hester Street Fair focuses on curated local goods, food and most importantly, highlights the vibrant spirit of the community. Located at Hester and Essex Streets, the tree-lined site is ideally situated between both F stops (East Broadway/Delancey) and adjacent to Seward park.
Rent a table or a booth, be a part of our community outreach program, learn about composting at our site, nurture your inner entrepreneur, find whatever you’re looking for…the space is constantly changing, with something new every weekend.
Check out the First Ever Grub Street Beer Garden at Sunday’s Giant Grub Street Food Festival! And We’re Still Open Saturday for HSF! Double the Hester, Double the Fun!
We know you missed us when we were closed last weekend, but we’re open both days this weekend to make up for it! On Saturday, we have our usual Hester Street Fair filled with delightful shopping and delicious food. On Sunday, don’t miss the annual Grub Street Food Festival– we’re back and better than ever!
On Saturday, new vendor wuhaonyc/TENUGUI ART will be offering exquisite Japanese gifts based on traditional Japanese cotton towels, bringing you a taste of ancient Japanese culture. With the holidays right around the corner, you’ll definitely want to check them out! Another shopping highlight is Housewives on Fire, an independent clothing line with hand-made vintage inspired looks. Looking for a 1920’s style flapper dress or a 1950’s poodle skirt for Halloween? Then you’ve come to the right place! And don’t forget to grab a snack before you leave for the day. With mouth-watering food vendors like Mighty Balls and Snap Truck NYC, you won’t leave hungry!
And when Saturday’s treats leave you wanting more, not to fret! Just come back to Grub Street Food Festival on Sunday and check out Miss Lily’s Jerk Chicken, Dos Toros’ Carnitas Tacos, Adirondack Creamery’s Pumpkin Pie and Peppermint Stick ice cream, Ditch Plain’s Ditch Dog (a hot dog smothered in mac n cheese), La Belle Torte’s Banana Nutella Cakes, and much, much more! Plus 10% of profits from The Chibi Chef’s Pink Velvet Cake Balls will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight against breast cancer. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Join these guys plus 70 other fantastic food finds for our biggest event yet! Plus, Santos Party House makes it easy to dance off all the Grub treats with live music all day.
Just when you think Grub Street is bringing you everything you could possible ask for, we have a few more surprises up our sleeves! We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be having the first ever Grub Street Beer Garden to spice things up. It’s really a party now!

Hester Street Fair: The Final Month of the 2011 Season. Get Your Hester Fix While You Still Can!
Hey there Hester lovers! Can you believe that this Saturday marks the first of October? Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! October is the final month that the Hester Street Fair will be open this season, so come on down and get your Hester-fix before it’s too late! But don’t worry – we’re open every Saturday ‘til the end of the month, and we’ll of course be back next year, so you have plenty to look forward to!
As always, we have plenty of special and unique vendors to pique your interest this week. If you’re headed to Hester with a case of the munchies this week, food vendor highlights include Bun Mi Catering, who translates some of the most popular Asian street food staples into the New York environment. Try the shrimp slider buns or the sautéed mushroom tacos – you won’t be disappointed! And what’s a street fair without a good pickle vendor? Check out Picklena for perfected jalapeño pickles – a robust combination of sliced and pickled Kirby cucumber with the necessary jalapeno, red pepper and onion. These unique flavors will entice a fellow to do the Texas two step right on the spot! If you’re more in the mood to satisfy your sweet tooth, head over to FattyCakesNY, home of New York’s ridiculous cookies. What could be better than flavors like Sticky Fingers (peanut butter cookie packed with homemade peanut brittle, caramel, and butter popcorn) and The Jules (a butter cookie filled with cherry jam)? Nothing, that’s what!
Once you’ve stuffed yourself to your heart’s content, you can mosey on over to some of the best shopping on the Lower East Side. Highlights this week include Crème de la Cuff with beautiful vintage cufflinks that have been meticulously and lovingly acquired one by one, as well as Edzayi with fabulous baby accessories and toys, each designed with a hint of whimsy, a sprinkle of impish charm and a dash of sophisticated elegance. And don’t leave without stopping by Hippie Pills, where you’ll find everything from charm bracelets (vintage car charms, good luck charms, ecology charms, yoga charms – you name it!) to colorful and sparkly bags. Get all your Hester shopping in this month, or you’ll be kicking yourself when you have to wait until next season to score these great finds!
