“One of the great urban experiences in New York”
ABOUT
Founded in April 2008 by Jonathan Butler and Eric Demby, Brooklyn Flea has grown into one of New York City’s top attractions, operating flea markets every weekend of the year across different neighborhoods. The Fleas feature hundreds of top vendors of furniture, vintage clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as a tightly curated selection of jewelry, art, and crafts by local artisans and designers. Travel + Leisure, Country Living, Budget Travel, and Fodor’s have ranked the Flea one of the best markets in the U.S. and the world; and Time Out NY named the Flea one of New York’s Essential Pick-Up Spots.
Currently, our outdoor markets include Chelsea Flea (Saturday and Sunday) open year-round; Brooklyn Flea (Saturdays and Sundays in DUMBO) from April through December; BQ Flea (Saturdays and Sundays in Williamsburg).
The Flea also operates Smorgasburg (also April through October), a giant all-food-and-drink market that launched in May 2011 and happens Fridays at World Trade Center, Saturdays in Williamsburg, and Sundays at Prospect Park’s Breeze Hill, as well as every Sunday in Los Angeles & every weekend in Miami. Smorgasburg showcases the best of Brooklyn’s independent food scene, with 70+ local and regional vendors in iconic outdoor settings, serving food and drink from around the globe.
