Shop for vintage treasures and experience the fusion of past and present at Vancouver's Eastside Flea, a premier destination for antique enthusiasts and casual shoppers alike. This bi-weekly flea market turns shopping into an exciting adventure with its unique blend of vintage finds and modern entertainment. "Shop N Bop," a Friday night special, offers guests the opportunity to explore a curated selection of vintage items while enjoying a vibrant atmosphere complete with cocktails, craft beers and dancing.
Throughout the weekend, more than 50 dedicated vendors set up shop, showcasing an eclectic mix of memorabilia, collectibles, housewares, and retro fashion. Each visit promises new discoveries, thanks to an ever-changing roster of vendors who bring fresh collections to the forefront. The Eastside Flea is celebrated for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by a diverse selection of food trucks offering everything from wood-fired pizzas and falafel wraps to innovative gin-infused cocktails. Known for their friendliness and wide variety of goods, the vendors have something for everyone - whether you're looking for unique knickknacks, stylish home goods, retro clothing, kitschy oddities or antique curiosities.
After two years of thriving in the historic Ellis Building, built in 1907 and a testament to Vancouver's rich heritage, the Eastside Flea moved just a block away in the fall of 2018. The move to Eastside Studios marked a significant expansion into a 20,000-square-foot arts and culture hub, allowing for increased vendor capacity, the introduction of gallery space, a designated summer market parking lot, and the continuation of the beloved community atmosphere that has cemented Eastside Flea as a must-visit Vancouver event.
Beyond the weekend markets, Eastside Flea enriches the community with workshops and events in partnership with the East Van Arts and Culture Society at Eastside Studios. These initiatives aim to promote local, sustainable and independent shopping, reflecting the market's commitment to supporting the local economy and fostering a culture of creativity and sustainability. Whether you're a collector, a fashion enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique weekend experience, Eastside Flea offers an enriching immersion into Vancouver's vibrant cultural scene.
