Something great is going on every weekend this October at LIC Flea & Food, so mark your calendars and be there for all the fall fun.
The fall season launches on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6-7. You’ll find one-of-a-kind vendors selling vintage and artisanal goods along with great beverages at the Beer & Wine Garden, and an array of amazing food vendors.
Crowd favorites such as San Antonio’s Wood Fired Gourmet Pizzas and Four The Hard Way’s curried goat and rice and peas will be back at the market.
When you’re ready to shop, head on over to N&S Apparel for socially conscious cool Tees and Totes and to Almanac Organics for socially conscious skincare products. They believe that all businesses should operate with transparency, be mindful of their social impact, and be diligent environmental stewards.
For hand-made jewelry and vintage goods, Tracey Renee Designs has tons of great items to choose from. Silver Elephant has an array of necklaces you can layer, lovely bracelets, earrings and more.
