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.

Franklin Flea made its return this past Saturday and has debuted its special pop-up food booth. The booth has already featured Eli Kulp’s High Street on Market and will host a different restaurant every week to sell street-type food to go along with the other food trucks and vendors. Oyster House is scheduled to appear on Saturday and Cheu Noodle Bar on May 3.

Franklin Flea is a curated collection of more than 50 local vendors that sells antiques, furniture, collectibles, vintage clothing and handmade sundries. For its spring schedule, the market will be open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through May 24 inside the Strawbridge’s building on 801 Market St.
