A Fordham Plaza staple, the Bronx Night Market, is scheduled to make its return to the borough in April 2024.

After saying farewell to the community at the end of last October, the market will be coming back.

MASC Hospitality Group (MHG) is getting involved with the revival of the night market with support from Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, Councilmember Oswald Feliz, the city’s Department of Transportation, Community Board 6, and the Fordham Business Improvement District.

MHG says it’s looking to focus on a more holistic approach that will address some of the previous hurdles the night market faced, including safety concerns for vendors and difficulties securing local sponsorship.

MHG founder Marco Shalma says that the market will partner with Bronx Eats to promote health eating habits through cooking and nutrition education.

The Bronx Is Reading will join the fun, introducing a bookstore with tons of activities aimed at getting young kids into reading. Bronx Native will offer a “Tiny Desk” series to spotlight the talent and cultural richness across the borough.
