Flushing BID seeks vendors for annual street fair
BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
The Flushing Business
Improvement District is now
accepting applications for
vendors for its upcoming
sixth-annual Flushing Street
Fair in September.
The fair is a great
opportunity for local
businesses to promote
themselves and to be able
to obtain good exposure,
according to the Flushing BID.
Last year, the organization
attracted a total of 73 vendors
and they’re aiming to make
this year’s event bigger
and better.
“This is our safe street
festival and as everyone
knows, every year we attract
almost 30,000 people to the
street festival and this a
very good opportunity for an
established business or a new
business,” said Chari Biance
Ng, of the Flushing BID Board
Program Committee.
Families from the
neighborhood and outside
the community are welcome
to take part in the festival,
which will include a variety
of foods and all kinds
of entertainment.
“Last fiscal year, the
Flushing BID has been
working hard and our theme
is that Flushing welcomes
you. Last year, according to
NYC and Company, there
are over 65 million people
visiting New York City,” said
Dian Song Yu, Flushing BID
executive director. “We want
everyone to come down to
Flushing to have the chance to
experience the uniqueness of
downtown Flushing — enjoy
our food, the environment,
the convenience. It’s five
to 10 minutes away from
LaGuardia, and if we can
only capture 1 to 2 percent
of the 65 million people,
that’s approximately 1.2
million people to visit
downtown Flushing.”
Registration is open for
businesses that are interested
in a booth for the festival and
is on a first-come, first-served
basis. So far, over 45 vendors
have registered to participate
and the BID is anticipating
more to come.
“Great to be able to see
