We heart Alamo Square. Call the neighborhood what you want- Alamo, Nopa or Western Addition, but it’s all love for us. We have Workshop here, we live here and we are so happy to have the Indie Mart back here and right when we lose Dolores Park in its full glory for the end of the Summer:) The Alamo Square Flea Market has been bringing you treasures, estate merchandise, vintage, antiques and even a few fun, oddball garage sales in the mix for 27 years. Ya heard! 27 years. So we decided to merge a little vintage with some indie and throw a party.
Saturday August 21st, we will be bringing you the Alamo Square Flea & Indie Mart for the best of both worlds, DIY, vintage inspired and so much more. There will be family friendly stations, you can bring your pups, there will be dogs for adoption, food and a sunshiney park to hang in. Workshop will be offering DIY activities for the whole family and adults from terrariums to crafts to cookie decorating. This will be a really fun merge and a great celebration of our hood, the history here & all the fun people here.
To be a vendor, there are two paths. For antique/ estate style vendors, apply with the Flea Market at www.alamosq.org/flea. To apply as an Indie Mart vendor for new items, vintage or anything in that realm, apply here. We are looking for people with vintage or vintage inspired themes to their designs, rad processes, imagery that is vintage in theme, cool processes, customization, rebuilt and a few new vendors with indie goods too! For the IndieMart side, spaces are assigned as we closed down one street and all spaces are good spaces with equal traffic & numerous entrances & excitement on every end. It is a small block lining the park and all it’s activities, tourists & fun. Options for spaces:
- Full 12 foot by 5 foot spaces are $50, yes, you heard us, $50 and there is a $5 service fee.
- Smaller 6ft spaces are $30.
- There also are 12ft garage sale spaces on Fulton & Hayes that are on a sharp hill for $25, these are not in the main area but super affordable!
We prefer no sharing and if you do share, you must both apply and be approved. Few things: NO POWER. SPACES ARE ON THE STREET. TABLE & CHAIR RENTALS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IT DOES GET WINDY. EARLY AM LOAD IN! NO ALCOHOL/ BAR/ ETC. Applications are open now. Git it!
