First and foremost, Flea By The Sea will open it's tents to vendors and the public on Friday, May 1, 2009.
FBTS is a planned flea market located in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn off of Stillwell Avenue in what was once part of Astroland.
According to John, Flea By The Sea will feature 4 huge circus-style tents with 8x10 feet and 10x10 feet selling spaces inside. FBTS will be open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will have live entertainment every weekend along with food vendors and other vendors selling just about everything under the sun.
Vendors who choose to participate in FBTS are encouraged to reserve their space from now by emailing: fleabythesea@gmail.com or calling 888-940-8881. Their website: www.fleabythesea.com will be up in a couple of weeks.
Thor Equities has allotted over $500K to advertise and push this market into the public psyche, so most of the tri-state area should be familiar with FBTS by the middle of the year.
With very few flea markets in the tri-state and the threat of the most famous ones - Aqueduct (in Queens) and the Meadowlands (in N.J.) - being shut down, FBTS is looking very attractive to vendors who are looking to expand or off-load product.

I am a fan of flea markets and have had many pleasant times at flea markets in the past, but I think there are better uses for a historic neighborhood by the sea. I find it sad. A flea market could be in teh schools or churches, not on beautiful beach front land that has been the site of so much amusement. There are plenty of locations around Coney Island for a flea market other than the C-7 amusement zoned area. I strongly urge any vendors considering participating to also look at the bigger picture.
ReplyDeleteHello Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWe understand your point of view, but for many vendors selling at flea markets is the only means we have to get our products out there and earn a living. I will do some more research and put up another post soon.
