Even with Black Friday over, you’ll still have enough time to catch some amazing sales at the LIC Flea Holiday Market this weekend.
Many vendors at the popular Long Island City flea market, which made its move to the warehouse connected to the original outdoor lot on the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue, will be offering Black Friday deals on unique, handcrafted and curated items.
Every Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 21, the indoor holiday market will include two floors of a mix of LIC Flea favorite vendors and new faces. There are also two special boutique spots in the inner building. Shoppers will be able to find something for everyone on their lists.
This weekend will be the last time shoppers can enter the LIC Flea Black Friday challenge. Those who show $100 or more worth of receipts from the LIC Flea from the month of November will have a chance to win $100 in Flea Bucks to be spent in December. See www.facebook.com/licflea for how to enter.
The LIC Flea Beer Garden also remains open on the second floor of the warehouse. The beer garden offers wine and beer selections from local breweries SingleCut Beersmiths, Queens Brewery, Finback Brewery and Rockaway Brewing Company. Drink specials including $2 beer and $3 wine are available from 4 to 5 p.m.
There will be great events in the weekends to come such as Lego building, cupcake making, pictures with Santa Claus and much more.
The LIC Flea Holiday Market is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information visit www.licflea.com or www.facebook.com/licflea.
