The Queens Together International Food Expo
Our 5th Annual Fundraiser, Supporting the Families, Veterans, and Restaurants of the World’s Borough
Monday, December 7, 2026 • 6pm–8:30pm
The New York Hall of Science, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park
Celebrate the diversity of Queens at the 5th annual International Food Expo, Queens Together’s biggest fundraiser of the year. On the evening of December 7, around 40 of the borough’s best independent restaurants and hospitality partners will gather at the iconic New York Hall of Science to showcase their diverse, delicious eats to hundreds of guests and raise money for Queens Together’s programming.
Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a wide range of foods from around the world, enjoy drinks poured by the historic Neir’s Tavern and SingleCut Beersmiths, and live music from local band, Repriman. The night embodies what Queens is all about: diversity, community, and giving back.
We invite you to become a sponsor of this beloved local event. Proceeds from the Expo directly fund our year-round programs, and your sponsorship demonstrates your organization’s commitment to the Queens community.
As our primary annual fundraiser, the Expo helps fuel three flagship programs:
Family Meal Program, serving fresh, culturally appropriate produce for families in need at school food pantries
Feed a Veteran & Rally Point, providing meals and community events for veterans
Small Business Support, offering advocacy, development, and promotion for Queens restaurants
Since 2020 Queens Together and partner restaurants have served more than 500,000 people. Sponsoring the Food Expo shines a positive light on your organization’s name and puts it in the public eye.
