With the holidays just around the corner, this weekend the LIC Flea & Food will be hosting sweet giveaways.
The popular Long Island City flea market made its move indoors to the warehouse, connected to the original outdoor lot on the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue, to launch the LIC Flea Holiday Market.
This Saturday and Sunday, Long Island City’s Cassey’s Cookies & Cobblers will sponsor the LIC Flea Holiday Pie Giveaway. With every purchase, shoppers will receive an entry with the chance to win a holiday pie every hour.
The East River Ferry has also partnered with the LIC Flea this weekend to offer one shopper a monthlong pass for the ferry.
Visitors can enter both giveaways on the second floor of the holiday market.
Shoppers can also enter the LIC Flea Black Friday challenge by stopping at the market and getting all their holiday shopping done before Dec. 1 for a chance to win $100 in Flea Bucks. See www.facebook.com/licflea for how to enter.
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 offering local, handmade and uniquely curated items. Vendors will also be selling delicious treats and drinks. There are also two special boutique spots in the inner building. Shoppers will be able to find something for everyone on their lists.
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.
