NAVY YARD — At the height of its productivity as a functioning naval repair and shipbuilding facility, as many as 5,000 employees walked into the Brooklyn Navy Yard daily. Today, functioning as a job incubator and entrepreneurial center, the Navy Yard attracts thousands of visitors as consumers. Pop-up markets have become a mainstay and have developed a devoted following.
“The Wallabout Wonderland Market has become a beloved tradition that we’ve proudly hosted for the past six years,” said Lindsay Greene, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC). “It has grown into a cornerstone of our community, highlighting the creativity and spirit of local artisans and entrepreneurs, especially minority and women-owned (MWBE) start-ups. It’s a privilege to celebrate the season with our neighbors and welcome returning and new visitors to the market.”
The BNYDC is hosting its seventh annual Wallabout Winter Wonderland, a holiday pop-up marketing featuring over 200 local vendors who offer clothing, accessories, home decor, health and beauty products, food and drinks and more. The market will take place at Navy Yard’s Brooklyn Storehouse on Dec. 7 and 8 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The event is open to the public free of charge, but visitors are encouraged to RSVP here.
