Food lovers, it’s time to gather in the Bronx! NYCEDC today announced a Request for Proposals for an event organizer and operator to plan a food festival in the parking lot of the New Fulton Fish Market located in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. This is the first RFP issued by NYCEDC solely seeking to utilize one of its properties for the purposes of a food festival. The goal is to capitalize on the momentum from other food-related events around the city such as festivals, food truck events, weekly farmers markets, and prepared foods pop-up stands.

NYCEDC President Seth Pinsky:

“Hunts Point is an ideal location for a new food festival in New York City, creating a strong and important connection between the growing number of food entrepreneurs and the City’s main food distribution hub. Food festivals have already proven themselves to be extremely popular events in neighborhoods all across the City, and this site now offers an incredible opportunity to build upon that popularity with an exciting event that will greatly benefit Hunts Point and the entire Bronx.”
