El Souq Presents: Ramadan 2026
Sunday, February 8 | 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Ideal Glass Studios | 9 W. 8th St., New York, NY
🎉 Celebrate the second anniversary of El Souq with 40+ SWANA and South Asian vendors selling everything from handcrafted gifts to culinary delights. Because nothing says “Ramadan vibes” like shopping for artisanal soap and vinyl records.
🎶 DJ Sousan Hammad spins SWANA vinyl (remember those?) while Faraj Abyad performs live oud music. Pro tip: Bring Turkish coffee to stay awake during the 6-hour event.
🎟️ Your ticket includes: entry, one raffle entry, and the chance to win dinner for two at Bowery Bungalow (valued at $200). Spoiler: The real prize is surviving the crowds.
📍Location: 9 W. 8th St., New York, NY. Bring comfy shoes—you’ll be walking off all those delicious bites.
El Souq. Like No Other. (But also kinda like every other pop-up market, just with better hummus.)
