Here’s some good news for dealers of antiques, architectural salvage, craft, and vinyl. Brownstoner is organizing a Flea Market in Ft. Greene.

Those interested should fill out a preliminary expression of
interest. In no way is this a firm commitment, but it will serve
as a placeholder for you should demand exceed supply of space at the Brooklyn Flea.

I knew that  Brownstoner organized a Salvage Fest in the fall but what I didn’t know is that they’re planning something even bigger for the spring. Sounds very exciting to me (this may be old news but it’s new to me. So be it).

I wonder if Mr. B. could have imagined he’d be in the flea market business one day. Interesting where blogging leads us. I can’t tell one-time event or a flea market that will be open every weekend? I have a feeling that it will be a one-time event (or an annual one).

On the heels of the success of September’s Salvage Fest event,
Brownstoner.com is launching what will be the largest flea market in
Brooklyn next April. The location? A 40,000 square foot schoolyard in
Fort Greene. The Bishop Loughlin school yard is located on Lafayette
Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues, positioning the flea
market just a block from "brunch row" on Dekalb Avenue and only
four subway stops from Downtown Manhattan. Our goal is to create a
destination event that gives people from all over the city yet another
reason to visit Brooklyn. We plan to put together the best assortment
of dealers across a wide range of interests, from antiques to crafts to
vinyl records; we’re also hoping to create a food court of local and
organic offerings.
