Franklin Flea returns for the holiday season

Written by , Posted in Arts & Entertainment

The Franklin Flea Holiday Market has returned to the historic Strawbridge’s Building at 8th and Market Streets every Saturday until Dec. 20.

About 50 vendors from across the city– from food to antiques and jewelry – set up shop Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with many following the theme of “up-cycling” wares. Franklin Flea, and its production company Fluxus were founded by Mark Vevle, a developer in the Philly scene who aims to utilize Philly’s public spaces with temporary retail, food and art.

Admission is free, and vendors are pay as you go.
