About Smorgasburg
Smorgasburg (a mash-up of “smorgasbord” and “Williamsburg”) launched in May 2011, spinning off from the success of food vendors at the Brooklyn Flea. It has since incubated hundreds of independent businesses vending food and drink from around the world. From this platform, many have found success as multi-year, stalwart vendors — as well as gone on to thrive as brick and mortar shops, restaurants and packaged goods brands.
Dubbed “the Woodstock of,” by The New York Times, Smorgasburg is the largest weekly open-air food market in America, welcoming more than 2 million visitors a year to markets in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
Smorgasburg has expanded over the years to include season-long markets in Jersey City, New Jersey; Toronto, Ontario; Kingston, New York; and Washington, D.C., along with recurring pop-ups in Osaka, Japan, and São Paulo, Brazil. In New York, Smorgasburg operates concessions for BRIC’s popular Celebrate Brooklyn! performance series in Prospect Park and has partnered with numerous cultural institutions and brands to bring its signature food festival experience to new audiences.
