Vintage porcelain doll head? Yeah, we got that. (See Candy's Curiosities & Vintage for yours.) The weekend is on the horizon and we'll be ready for you on Sunday! Make no mistake about it--there's no mass-produced, made overseas, big box brands at our market. It's all hand-picked vintage from estate sales and secret sources, artisan and artist-made one-of-a-kinds, handcrafted soaps, candles and jewelry, and locally designed clothing and merch. That's not even mentioning the made-to-order street eats, treats and drinks to keep you going.



We ring the Opening Bell at 10 am on the Providence River Greenway across from 345 South Water Street in downtown Providence on Sunday, June 2, and ring it again at 4 pm when we close. Plan now to #getoutandflea! Above: We need more heroes! Check out this wearable vintage comic book art in hand-pressed lapel pins from Conjoined Pins and show off your faves. Get ready to be yarn-bombed with skeleton blankets and all matter of crocheted works by Lucente Fiber Arts on Sunday. Rum-aged and whiskey-aged maple syrup is back--all the way from Cabot, Vermont--from Ackermann Maple Farm. And trust us, it will not last! We're also lovin' this upcycled, tie-dyed Nike crop top from Flea newcomer Wild Virgo, right? Finally, the question is where to look first at Foley's Finds' jam-packed double-wide of vintage and Flea finds this weekend. If it's old and it's not here, it may not exist. (Seriously!) Above: Fight the pollen count every day with sinus-ease relief spray and shower bombs from Belle Toi All Natural Skincare. The textured strokes of "Snowy Owl" by Wildlife by Art Cat is a real head-turner, if you know what we mean. And work on your vintage vinyl jazz collection--and other music genres--from the stacks at Colonel's Collectibles on Sunday. We dare you to choose just one of these gorgeous handtooled and zippered leather clutches from Flea newcomers Mack and Hound. Wait til you see the others! And who doesn't need a succulent garden in an upcycled vintage camera from Photosynthesis? Stop in for a visit with Julie of Lewis Farm and learn about "shibhori," a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique used on her scarves, bags and clothing line.

Eat dessert first and get a dairy-free vegan soft-serve treat from Like No Udder, or choose from old fashioned home baked cookies and cakes made with all-natural ingredients from Mama B's Tasty Treats. Move on to the USDA certified mobile house-made and stuffed juicy grilled dogs from Gastros (shown above). Give in to temptation and order from Red's Street Kitchen yummy cheesesteaks, fried popcorn chicken and loaded fries. And Rhode Rage will tempt your better angels with international flavors in specialty sandwiches and fresh salads. Wash it all down with a DIY slushie in over a dozen mix and match flavors from The Big Freezy. Lainey Dionne describes herself as an Indie pop artist from a small town you don’t know. She's pitch perfect with a voice as smooth as honey. Prepare to be wooed on the boardwalk from 11 am - 2 pm where she'll play all the best acoustic pop covers and some original tunes too. The American Heart Association Heart Walk is taking place on Sunday morning from 7 am - 9:30 am (see the map above for the route) along South MAIN Street so your travel may be impacted if you're an early bird. The Flea is on South WATER Street, but some side streets near it will be impacted, and the following will be closed in the morning: Francis Street from Memorial to Gaspee; Dyer Street, Eddy Street from Ship to Point Streets; the westbound lane of the Point Street Bridge; and College Street from South Main to Memorial. ALL STREETS should be clear by 9:30 am, well in time for our 10:00 am opening. Please plan your arrival accordingly and leave some extra travel time for traffic interference! March to the beat of your own drum at the Flea. All are welcome! You can follow us on social below. And don't keep the fun all to yourself--spread the word here! Then #getoutandflea !! What's your treasure?
