Apply for a Vendor Stand at NYBALF 2026

The New York Black & African Literature Festival opens for its second edition in Harlem 18–20 September 2026. Alongside its readings and debates, the festival hosts a curated market that celebrates Black and African creativity through books, crafts, fashion, food, and community services. If your work carries stories, on the page, the plate, or the pop-up stand, we want you with us.

Applications reopen in July, 2026
