SATURDAY WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
DIRECTIONS + PARKING
Cleveland Masonic Auditorium (3615 Euclid Ave.) is home of the Cleveland Flea during our holiday season. Located 36 blocks south east of Public Square, it's easy to find, no matter how you roll. There are over 1,000 parking spots, both free and paid, within 10 blocks of Masonic Auditorium. We still recommend that you take public transportation if you can (support the RTA!), or share an Über or Lyft with a friend!
ADA parking spots are available in the lot adjacent to the Auditorium, which can be accessed via Euclid Ave.
FAQ
1. WHAT IS THE CLEVELAND FLEA?
The Cleveland Flea is a monthly urban treasure hunt that pulls in thousands of Northeast Ohioans to lesser-known neighborhoods in the city. It’s curated vintage meets culinary adventures on the road to the most talented artists and makers in the region. But it’s always been more than just a market. Founded in 2013 by Stephanie Sheldon (Indie Foundry), the Flea started as a way to support the makers, dreamers and creative small businesses that call Cleveland home, while giving shoppers an experience they couldn’t get anyplace else.
The Flea welcomes 140+ vendors and 20,000-30,000 shoppers each month to our Tyler Village home. We consider ourselves matchmakers, connecting Cleveland shoppers with the businesses they love, all in a dreamy and fun way.
2. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO SHOP THE FLEA?
Totally depends on what kind of shopper you are! Stay tuned to our blog, Facebook page, @ClevelandFlea on Instagram and Twitter for vendor highlights, shopper guides and other resources for making the most of your trip the Flea! Have questions? Tweet @ClevelandFlea or email hello@theclevelandflea.com.
3. WHO RUNS THE CLEVELAND FLEA?
Founded in 2013 by Stephanie Sheldon of Indie Foundry, the Cleveland Flea is run by a small (but so mighty) team of full-time awesome peeps who live, breathe and dream Flea. Laura Drapac is our excellent Event Coordinator and vendor liaison. Ryan Manthey constructs the beautiful scenery that you see during our events, and Heidi Rolf and Maggie Ress design everything amazing you see online and in print. Of course, Stephanie is at the helm, steering the ship toward brilliant tomorrows!
Team Flea organizes the event, vets vendors, recruits shoppers, procures permits and licenses, hires security, removes trash, rents furniture, builds stuff, plays the music, listens to your feedback, markets the market, encourages partnerships and aims to pair shoppers with their new favorite businesses in a fun and dreamy way. Have questions? Email hello@theclevelandflea.com or visit our stand at the next event.
4. WHERE DO I PARK?
Stop. Put yourself in reverse. And back up to the Directions + Parking section above. You flew right past it!
5. WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND A SPOT TO PARK?
Best advice: don't freak out, go home and look wistfully at other people's Instagrams. Take a deep breath and turn onto Superior Avenue toward downtown Cleveland. There's street parking for most of the 36 blocks between Masonic Hall and Public Square. Will you have to park 36 blocks away? No. Will you have to parallel park? Probably. We can't guarantee anything, but we're willing to bet you'll nab a spot within 5-7 blocks. Stink at parallel parking? Bike, bus, carpool or start practicing now!
6. DO VENDORS ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS?
Many Cleveland Flea vendors do accept credit cards, but not all do. Plus: the Flea Bar is CASH ONLY. Need an ATM? Here's a map of all area ATMs (or check with your specific bank).
7. HOW CAN I BECOME A VENDOR AT THE FLEA?
Direct your attention to our Vendor Application and Process. Applications are open and rolling all year long. We look forward to learning more about you and your business! NOTE: Spring 2017 market applications will be open January/February.
8. MAY I BRING MY DOG TO THE FLEA?
At our outdoor events: yes! At our indoor, holiday events: service dogs only, please!
