When you arrive at Bohemian Hall, please head to the 29th Street entrance which leads you directly to the garden.

Is this an indoor event?

No, this event is outdoors. Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden has granted us the use of 15 of their picnic tables for the outdoor event. The spaces are up against the north wall of the garden and are covered so there’s no need for a tent or umbrella. Since we are within the garden that serves alcohol  please note your guests and shoppers will need to come in through the bar which has a security guard who checks id. Children are welcome until 6 pm.

We do have other events that are indoors in the Main Hall at Bohemian Hall, but this event is an outdoor event.

In the below image where the barrels are shown is where the market and the picnic tables will be set up for our event. As you can see there is a cover over this area. This space is near the grill and stage.

When is set-up?

Set-up begins at 12 pm and the market opens open at 1 pm. The event ends at 5 pm and breakdown is thereafter. Load in is on the 29th Street garden entrance.

What type of spaces do you offer?

We offer a 30 x 60 picnic table. See pics below. You will need to be creative with your table layout as you can also place items on one side of the bench. You cannot use your own table. The picnic table has a bench connected to each side of it and you will be able to sit on the other side.  The spaces are covered by an awning so there’s no need for a tent or umbrella.

Take the N or Q train to Astoria Boulevard. The walk from the train to Bohemian Hall is about a block away as long as you get off on the correct exit – Northwest Exit.

Once on 24th Avenue, make a left and Bohemian Hall & Astoria Market is right there. Also, once you get off the stop most people know where Bohemian Hall is, so you can always ask someone.
