About NY NOW Summer
NY NOW Summer is the August edition of the wholesale gift, home and lifestyle market held at the Javits Center in Manhattan, running from Sunday 8 to Tuesday 10 August 2027. The show changed hands in 2026: the organiser says it is now privately held by Rockview Management Group, a company formed that year to buy it, and that it wants to rebuild the market as a commercial marketplace for the Northeast.
It describes the show as the largest gift and home buying event in the Northeast, with a floor split into Gift and Lifestyle, Home and a curated Handmade division. NY NOW is trade only: buyers upload company and individual credentials when they register, and registration is free for qualified buyers.
The winter edition of NY NOW takes place at the same venue in January and February and has its own page on this site; this page covers the summer show. The Javits Center is in Hudson Yards on Manhattan's West Side, so Hudson Yards, Midtown West and Times Square are the closest places to stay.
The organiser has not yet published the summer registration page or hotel arrangements, so check its site as the show gets closer. Registration is arranged with the organiser, separately from your hotel, and Event Escapes is independent of the organiser.
