FAD Market Returns to Dumbo for Its Final Fall Pop-Up of 2025
The fall season in Brooklyn is not complete without FAD Market’s Fall Pop-Up at Empire Stores. The final edition of this year’s pop-up happens November 8 and 9, 2025, bringing together over 35 independent makers, artisans, and small businesses from across New York City and beyond.
Shop Local, Support Creatives
Expect a thoughtfully curated lineup of handcrafted goods — from jewelry and apparel to homeware, skincare, and artisanal packaged food. Each vendor offers something special, perfect for early holiday shopping or a casual weekend stroll. It is the kind of event where you can meet the makers, hear their stories, and take home something made with passion.
Perfect Spot for a Day in Dumbo
Located in the lobby of Empire Stores (55 Water Street, Brooklyn), the pop-up sits in the heart of Dumbo’s creative and culinary hub. The venue is also home to Time Out Market, Cecconi’s, Dumbo House, and West Elm, making it easy to turn your visit into a full day of food and fun.
Before or after shopping, enjoy a bite from one of Time Out Market’s 20+ food vendors — Bark Barbecue’s brisket, Wayla’s Pad Kee Mao noodles, or anything from Clinton Street Bakery are all solid picks. Afterward, head up to the fifth-floor rooftop for sweeping skyline views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Explore the Neighborhood
Dumbo is a destination. Stroll along Brooklyn Bridge Park, take a spin on Jane’s Carousel, and admire Dumbo Walls, the outdoor murals decorating the area’s historic cobblestone streets. The neighborhood blends old architecture with modern energy, making it one of the most exciting spots to spend a fall weekend.
Easy Access
FAD Market’s Fall Pop-Up is easy to reach, too. Take the F train to York Street, A or C to High Street, or hop on the NYC Ferry to Dumbo/Fulton Ferry. The event is free and open to the public, and pets are welcome — so bring your pup along while you browse.
