Artist & Fleas is returning to McCarren Park for their 2nd season of the Market in McCarren in partnership with OSA. “It’s our annual pilgrimage outside from our friendly confines on N. 6th and is a great opportunity for the community of independent artists, emerging designers and coolio kids who do their own thing to showcase their talents and their wares and get in touch with the bigger community.”

WHERE: the market is moving to the intersection of Bedford & N. 12th in a breezy, cool space next to the ballfields (home of the L Magazine’s SummerScreen) and across from the McCarren sunbathing “beach.”

WHEN: the market kicks off Saturday, May 1st and will be open every Saturday from 11am-6pm throughout the summer.
