A New Photography Festival Comes To NYC This Fall: What To Know

QUEENS, NY — A new photography festival is coming to New York City this fall, with the inaugural 5 Boro Foto Fest set for this fall.

The 5 Boro Foto Fest will be held on Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The event is a collaboration between The Phoblographer, Corse Design, Mallon Productions and Culture Lab LIC.

The festival aims to create an artist-alley-style marketplace dedicated to local photographers and the people who collect their work.

Photographers, galleries, collectives and independent storefronts will showcase and sell photography in a range of physical formats, including fine-art prints, zines, books and mixed-media works.

Organizers describe the festival as a flea market where photographers are the vendors—a chance for art lovers to meet photographers in person, discover their work and purchase pieces directly in an increasingly digital and algorithm-driven creative landscape.

The festival is being promoted as an AI-free celebration of photography made in New York.

Photographers and vendors can apply through September 25.
