This weekend the LIC Flea & Food will be “children central” with events featuring puppets, face painting and much more fun.
The popular Long Island City flea market will have Brooklyn-based Puppetsburg performing puppet shows, featuring hipster and tattooed puppets, for children up to 4 years old. There will be three performances throughout the day, the first at 10:45 a.m., then 12:45 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. Each show involves music, dancing and a brand-new puppet story.
Children will also be able to enjoy time in a bounce house, getting their faces painted, doing spin art sponsored by the ny k!ds club and entering a chance to win a free class, snapping pictures in a photo booth, mat fun for the little ones and a surprise special appearance by a princess.
The LIC YMCA will also be present providing activities, such as soccer skills, and visitors can enter to win summer memberships.
Visitors should also check out these following kid-centric vendors at the market: Linty Toes, Lowleepop, Layla Tov Monster, Tiny-you, Hocks Out Press, Custom Critters, Eight Thousand Miles, Ice & Vice, Ice Riders and more.
LIC Flea & Food is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is located at the outdoor lot by the waterfront at the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue.
After enjoying a fun-filled Saturday in Long Island City, visitors can stop by the Astoria Flea & Food at Kaufman Astoria Studios every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this summer at the outdoor backlot of Kaufman Astoria Studios at 36th Street and 35th Avenue.
