Long Island City and Astoria will be filled with celebrations this weekend.
On Saturday, June 21, the LIC Flea & Food will be marking its one-year anniversary and some vendors will be offering visitors special discounts and chances to win Flea Bucks to spend at the market.
Some of the special discounts include $10 All Day from Drink More Good, 10 percent off everything on the truck from The Nomad Truck, $5 select bracelets from Imran Jewels, $8 quart jars of lemonade from Frittering Away and 10 percent off all paintings from New York Flair. Additionally, anyone spending LIC Flea Bucks with C & C Couture Luxury Designs will receive 10 percent off the entire purchase (minimum $10 purchase).
The popular Long Island City flea market opened up last June at the outdoor lot by the waterfront at the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue. Since its opening, the LIC Flea has brought visitors the best in food and drinks, collectibles, art, fashion, vintage items, antiques and much more.
In the past year the market has also featured special events for the World Cup, Father’s Day and much more. The LIC Flea has also had special guests such as the Big Apple Circus and most recently HGTV’s “Flea Market Flip.”
The LIC Flea & Food is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This Sunday, the Astoria Flea & Food at Kaufman Astoria Studios will surprise visitors as organizers plan to announce that the brand-new market will stay open until August 31.
Initially the Astoria Flea was expected to run for eight consecutive Sundays starting in May.
Visitors can stop by the Astoria Flea 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.
