Punk Rock flea market returns!

The “Spring Fever” edition of the Punk Rock Flea Market returns to Northern Liberties this Sunday, May 22 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

The Punk Rock Flea Market Dome will house more than 250 tables with vendors selling everything from handmade jewelry and crafts, to records, furniture, electronics, instruments, art and even junk.
R5 Productions, the indie music promoter behind the event, has dedicated more than 40 tables to selling exclusively punk items like old punk records, old band shirts and instruments.

There will also be nearly 20 different food vendor tables with snacks for everyone from carnivores to vegans. Little Baby’s Ice Cream, launching this weekend, will be on site selling ice cream from its tricycle freezer and Miss Rachel’s Pantry will be there, specializing in vegan sandwiches.

Though this is a completely non-music centric event, you’ll also be able to win tickets to shows and backstage passes.

Tickets are just $3. All proceeds go to support the “all ages shows” R5 Productions puts on at the First Unitarian Church and elsewhere throughout Philadelphia.
