[edit] About

Brooklyn Flea operates two New York City's premier flea markets - one in Fort Greene and the other one in Williamsburg - every weekend of the year, featuring hundreds of top vendors of antique and repurposed furniture, vintage clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as a tightly curated selection of jewelry, art, and crafts by local artisans and designers, plus delicious fresh food. The New York Times called the Flea "One of the great urban experiences in New York"; Country Living, Budget Travel, and Delta Sky ranked the Flea one of the best markets or antiques shows in the U.S.; and Time Out NY named the Flea one of New York's Essential Pick-Up Spots.

The Flea's Fort Greene flagship location features 150 vendors every Saturday from April through November, rain or shine. The 40,000-square-foot schoolyard at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, found between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues, is part vintage bazaar, part hipster hang, part old-fashioned town square, and part food bonanza.

From Thanksgiving through March, the market moves indoors to Skylight One Hanson, an event space in the landmark former Williamsburg Savings Bank, at the Atlantic and Flatbush Avenue intersection. In December the Flea operates the annual Gifted holiday market.
