Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Saturday or Sunday to experience the market before it gets too crowded, especially if you want to sample the popular 'æbleskiver' while they're fresh.
- Consider taking the East River Ferry or New York Water Taxi for a scenic arrival and to avoid potential parking challenges in Brooklyn Heights.
- Bring cash for smaller purchases from vendors, as not all may accept cards, though many will likely have payment options available.
- Check the church's opening hours for August, as they are closed during this month, but the Christmas Fair is in November.
- If you're interested in sponsoring the event, reach out to Julie at js@dskny.org well in advance of the fair.
