A street fair for street vendors

June 3, 2010  |  New York City

Last year, a couple SVP board members had an idea: let’s do a street fair! We’ve got the vendors — all we need is some space. So we got permission to close down Park Place near City Hall for one day. And next Friday, June 11th, it will happen. Instead of big corporations running the street fairs, it will be self-employed immigrants and entrepreneurs. Instead of vending alone, sixty or so SVP members will vend together, in solidarity, for one day. Here’s the Facebook page with all the details. We’re calling it the Pushcart Market. Now who’s coming?
