Started in 1993, the Holiday Fair keeps true to its tradition of making each fair unique by bringing in new vendors and fresh items. This year, 21 of the 76 vendors are new to the fair. The fair has seen a growing number of ready-to-wear vendors in the past few years and, with seven booths featuring designer women’s clothing, this year is no exception. In addition, 74 percent of the vendors for this year’s fair are from the New York area and 88 percent design and produce American-made products.
New Yorkers, commuters and tourists will find unique gifts for their friends and families in a variety of products and price points. Visitors will enjoy the Terminal’s warm environment, its storied surroundings and its proximity to a wide variety of other activities in one of the city’s most iconic buildings.
