I just got an email from Eric Demby, who with Jon Butler, runs the Brooklyn Flea and the Pop-Up Market in DUMBO. The Brooklynh Flea is switching its day to Saturday (from Sunday) at the Bishop Loughlin schoolyard in Ft. Greene. But the big news is this: the Pop-Up Market is here to stay and it will be open on Sundays in DUMBO.
The Brooklyn Flea in
Fort Greene reopens this Saturday, April 18, bringing New York City's
biggest and best market for vintage/antiques, food, art, crafts,
jewelry, and more back to the 40,000-square-foot Bishop Loughlin
schoolyard.

The Fort Greene Flea switches to
Saturdays this year, with the indoor "Pop-Up" markets in DUMBO becoming
permanent on Sundays, following their successful winter run. (The DUMBO
markets, in two vacant storefronts at 76 and 81 Front St., attracted up
to 8000 people every weekend, and garnered praise including a NY Times "Critical Shopper" feature.) Some vendors will sell at both locations, but the 2 Fleas will be developing their own identities in coming months.

The
"Curated Corner," which featured partners DailyCandy, Cool Hunting,
Refinery29, and Vintage + Modern Inc. at the DUMBO markets, will
continue in both locations on select dates. This Saturday in Fort
Greene, Racked.com is in the Curated Corner, tapping top shops Madewell
(Soho), Inven.tory (Soho), Hayden-Harnett (Greenpoint + Nolita), Alter
(Greenpoint), and the Shoe Market (Williamsburg) to set up mini-booths

To celebrate the April 18 Fort Greene reopening, the Flea has partnered with Brooklyn Botanic Garden and
its annual Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossom Festival. In addition to
beautiful blossoms decorating the market's main entrance, five Flea
vendors have created the "Sakura Set," fashioning unique items inspired
by the Japanese flower that will only be for sale at the market.
Vendors include Bonbon Oiseau (jewelry), Foxy + Winston (stationery), Kimono Lily (kimonos), Kumquat Cupcakery (cupcakes), and Osborn Designs (art/crafts).
