The holiday market is open Mondays through Fridays, 11am-8pm, and Saturdays and Sundays, 10am-8pm.
Not only is there free ice skating on Bryant Park’s 17,000-square-foot outdoor rink (you may bring your own skates or rent them), Urbanspace—the brand that’s responsible for Union Square’s and Columbus Circle’s holiday markets as well as Mad. Sq. Eats—is bringing over 180 holiday shops, including a bunch of new kiosks and eateries for your shopping and eating pleasure through January 2, 2024.
It'll also bring back its Small Business Spotlight that gives four New York City-based minority-owned small businesses, with annual revenues of $1 million or less, an opportunity to showcase their products in a free booth at the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park.
You'll also be able to cozy up at The Lodge: a covered, outdoor après-themed area where visitors can grab a festive cocktail, enjoy delicious food, watch the ice skaters or admire the tree.
The Winter Village is open through March 3, 2024, but the holiday market closes on January 2.
