Introduction

The Bryant Park Winter Market is a seasonal open-air holiday market held each winter in Midtown Manhattan's Bryant Park, produced by the Bryant Park Corporation with local curators. About 60 glass-walled chalet kiosks line the west and north sides of the park, featuring independent designer crafts, holiday decor, global food and warm drinks. The market runs alongside the park's Winter Village ice rink, where free skating (skate rental extra) complements shopping. The central lawn hosts a giant holiday tree and light displays that create a romantic atmosphere after dusk. Open from late October through early January, it is Manhattan's most urban holiday market, distinct from traditional suburban Christmas fairs in its polish and international flavour.
