Things to do this weekend in Williamsburg
Oct. 9 to 11, 2026: Saturday and Sunday plans for markets, art and neighborhood history, with Friday’s screening retained in the archive.
The remaining weekend in Williamsburg, Oct. 10 and 11, leaves room for markets, an art appointment and a small museum. Choose one fixed stop, then keep enough empty space to make the neighborhood feel like a neighborhood.
For Oct. 9 to 11, 2026.
This is an archived weekend guide. See the latest weekend plans.
Saturday offers two food stops with very different jobs. McCarren Park Greenmarket is for provisions. Smorgasburg is for lunch and indecision. Add an art appointment or the City Reliquary, then leave Sunday’s waterfront walk for the Domino Park Greenmarket.
Schedules and visitor details were rechecked Oct. 10. The remaining weekend plans are Saturday and Sunday; tickets and appointments remain subject to availability. Confirm the official listing before traveling.
Corrected Oct. 9: GrowNYC lists the Domino Park Greenmarket on River Street between South 3rd and South 4th streets, with the season ending Nov. 22. An earlier version gave the wrong cross streets and end date.

Lisa Corinne Davis’s What’s Going On? is on view at Williamsburg Biannual. The South 4th Street space lists Thursday through Saturday visits by appointment. Contact the venue before setting out; a published visiting window does not guarantee a same day appointment.
Address: 20 South 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY
Website: Official website
Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m., by appointment. 20 South 4th St. The exhibition runs through Jan. 30, 2027.
Official exhibition and appointment details5. Give the City Reliquary one curious hour
The little Metropolitan Avenue museum is exactly right when the day needs an indoor stop but not an institutional marathon. Its collection makes a case for looking harder at the city objects people usually pass without noticing.
Address: 370 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
Website: Official website
Friday through Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. 370 Metropolitan Ave. General admission is listed at $10, with discounts available.
Official hours and admission6. Finish Sunday at the Domino Park Greenmarket

The Sunday market gives the waterfront walk a useful destination. GrowNYC lists the Domino Park location as active, with a season running through Nov. 22. Shop first and keep walking only if the weather earns it.
Address: River Street between South 3rd and South 4th streets, Brooklyn, NY
Website: Official website
Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. River Street between South 3rd and South 4th streets. Check the current producer list before traveling for one item.
