The Eastside Flea is Reopening in its New Digs This Weekend

The Eastside Flea is back! Beginning this weekend, the Flea will once again be in full-swing mode, with a brand new, bigger and better setup at Eastside Studios. To celebrate, they’re kicking off the new season by throwing a special re-opening extravaganza this Friday night in signature Eastside Flea style.

As well as the cool and diverse assortment of goods from all of the vendors, the event will include a bunch of local bands and deejays, grilled cheese sandwiches, portraits by a local photographer and flash tattoos to keep you and your tummy entertained while shopping for new fall threads.

The Flea weekend market will be resuming its usual bi-weekly schedule the following Saturday and Sunday (Sept 22 – 23), and restoring the rhythm to our weekend. We can’t wait! For more details and the full list of 2018 market dates, head over to their website.
