It must be spring. The Brooklyn Indie Market comes back this weekend and they’re throwing a party.

A Brooklyn Indie Love Fest. No, I misread that. It’s the Brooklyn Indie Fest, A Celebration of Design, to mark the grand re-opening of the fave outdoor market on Smith Street, started by Kathy Malone.

Opening festivities include unplugged indie musicians, temporary tattoo parlour for kids of all ages, face painting, kiddie artisan-craft workshops by Stars and Sprinkles and BIM’s designers, giveaways and meet-and greet with indie designers. FREE
   
The fun happens on  Saturday, May 3, 11a – 7 p, in Carroll Gardens, at the Corner of Smith and Union Street

Look for the red and white striped tent.

And keep coming back for more: At the weekly Brooklyn Indie market, you will find handmade goodness such as jewelry by Wabisabi-Brooklyn, hats by Rocks and Salt, kidswear by Wonder Threads, and frocks by Melissa Bell. Please join us in the celebration of spring, community and supporting your local artisans and emerging designers. 

May-Aug, Saturdays, 11a-7p
Sep.-Dec. Saturday and Sundays, 11a-7p
