MASC Hospitality Group is proud to announce the return of Harlem’s most celebrated Uptown Night Market. The large-scale open-air market scene with its mission to support micro-businesses and artisanal creators will be amplifying its festival by adding local and namesake performances.
It will also add exciting new food & merchant vendors, a themed visual art element, and an up-and-comers entrepreneurial incubator.
The monthly series event returns to under the Arches of Harlem on Thursday, April 14th, from 4 PM to 10 PM.
For Marco Shalma, the founder of MASC Hospitality Group, creating Uptown Night Market in said location has been a natural progression of the conscious way the company does business within the Uptown and The Bronx communities. “I build MASC to focus on creating experiences and brands that truly reflected our diverse community, and to support diverse micro-businesses in their growth,” said Shalma, “plus, We have a lot of fun at our events and it’s truly a community-building experience that is becoming a summer tradition in Harlem!”
When patronizing the Uptown Night Market, New Yorkers will enjoy tons of international cuisines and food concepts from the likes of Downeast Lobstah, Tacos El Guero, HangryDog, Treat Yourself Jerk, Mama Silog, Arepa Baby, and The Bronx Burger Company, Booze Scoops (21+), Twister Cakes, Butta’s Bakery, Sam’s Fried Ice Cream, and Maryland Chicken to name just a few.
