Guide to October Flea
Join 150 local vendors at The Cleveland Flea on Saturday, October 14 from 9am-4pm.
It’s finally Fall, and we’re celebrating the seasonal equinox by getting back in-touch with nature. Scout the Flea for camping gear before your adventure under the stars. Pick-up vintage knapsacks, find a fishing pole or two, and pack a palette to paint plein-aire. Spend your days admiring the scenery with a packed picnic lunch, while your nights are filled with star counting and fireside sips from your favorite flask.
Homebodies, just ready to hunker-down, find comfort in oversized sweaters, mugs of spiked tea, natural wood beaded jewelry, and front porch pumpkin patches. It’s also the season for heavy coats in the closets and comfort food in the kitchen. Bake-up one of Mom’s classic dishes in cast iron crockery, then serve us something warm to eat. We’re ready to tuck-in until winter comes!

GETTING THERE + PARKING
Need a map or directions? Head over here.
It's best not to drive. Uber. Bus. Bike. Book the Cleveland Brew Bus. But if you do drive, here are a few things to know:
- If you need to drive, have a look-see at our shopper parking map below! We have negotiated a few free off-street options for places to put your car this season!
- We have 4 ADA accessible spots at the entrance to The Flea. You'll see them marked.
- Parking in neighborhood parking lots is at your own risk. If there is a sign posted that you will be towed, you will be towed.
- Don't park in areas on the street where it says, "No Parking" as you will either be ticketed or towed.
- There's ample parking if you're ok strolling through our lovely neighborhood.
- Bought something big? Vendors might be willing to deliver it to you for an extra fee OR we also allow cars to drive in for pick up of large items.
- We have bike racks for locking up your ride.

NON-PROFIT PARTNERS
Cleveland is filled with purpose-driven nonprofit organizations and passionate changemakers. We find that inspiring, and we're happy to bring to you our monthly Do-Gooder Series, aimed at connecting you to the causes that make our hearts skip a beat. Support them by purchasing craft cocktails and beer at The Flea Bar, or by donating directly via their own websites. Often times, they'll even have a presence at our events, so don't be shy — let them know you're happy they're here doing good.
This month's Non-Profit Partner is Shape. You can help them out by grabbing a drink at the bar, where we donate a portion of our proceeds to their good cause. Want to learn more? Check out our recent writeup here!

October isn't just a great time of year for the bavarian snacks, crisp leaves, and cool temps, but also because it's HALLOWEEN! Dress-up or come in fun fall gear. There will be a candy bag decorating station for the kids, and all ages are welcome to get their face painted by our talented pal Stephanie Sgro!
THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
