Guide to August Flea

Join 150 local vendors at The Cleveland Flea’s third outdoor event of 2017, August Flea, on Saturday, August 12 from 9am-4pm. Follow up with Food Flea the following afternoon for a chill Sunday Funday. We’re relishing the last days of summer while the days still seem endless. Join us outside for a bit as we relax in the warm air, stretched out at our favorite sunning spots along the lake. Don’t think about back to school just yet. No, this is the moment to soak up the season and add a few more freckles to your face.

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. 

Click any green "P" symbol for available lots, and try to avoid parking in lots marked with a red node. Click here to view the map on mobile!


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.

NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

August marks the end of summer... hell, the sun literally disappears for a few minutes at the end of the month. That's the universe's way of telling us that it's time to live it up while we still can! Plan your last minute staycation with us, and furnish it with the finest new, small batch, and one-of-a-kind goods that our vendors have to offer.
