About MAGIC New York
MAGIC New York is the east coast leg of the MAGIC fashion marketplace, held from Sunday 7 to Tuesday 9 February 2027 on level 3 of the Javits Center in Manhattan. Its organiser, Informa Markets, describes it as the home of trend, young contemporary, modern sportswear, apparel, footwear and accessories brands, with home, gift and beauty alongside.
It is a trade show, not a public one: the organiser says all attendees must be verified by show management, and that verified purchasers attend for free. The same week, the organiser invites buyers to cross shop MAGIC with COTERIE and SOURCING at the Javits Center, so many visitors plan one trip around all three.
MAGIC also runs a bigger edition in Las Vegas, which has its own page on this site; this page covers the New York show only. The Javits Center sits in Hudson Yards on Manhattan's West Side, so Hudson Yards, Midtown West and Times Square are the closest places to stay, with the 7 train linking them. Registration is arranged with the organiser, separately from your hotel.

- A hotel near the 34th Street Hudson Yards 7 train stop gives the shortest walk to the show, with one stop to Times Square for dinner
- The organiser says 61 percent of the buyers at its September 2026 New York show came from the Northeast, so expect regional boutique and department store buyers
- Rideshare drop off is at 38th Street and 11th Avenue, so tell your driver before you leave the hotel rather than asking for the main entrance
