Find sweet treats, antiques, clothes, more at big annual flea market in Tacoma
The Fieldhouse Flea Market is back this Saturday, welcoming over 90 vendors to the University of Puget Sound.
The university’s Women’s League has put on the annual event since 1968, with ticket revenue going toward student scholarships.
Vendors are divided into different categories — antique/vintage/repurposed items, letterpress/cards/prints, jewelry, clothing, candles/soaps/plants, and creatives.
There will be a selection of indoor food vendors, like The Brown Pecan, which sells candied pecans, Dough My Gosh, which serves gourmet cookies, and Liberte du Monde Gourmet, which offers spice blends, teas and other goodies.
The main food court will be outside the fieldhouse, where visitors will find an extensive lineup of food trucks and other vendors put together by Kris Hay, aka @Tacoma.Aroma.Flavor on Instagram.
Options for eats include macarons and other treats from Girl Loves Cake, specialty hot dogs from Big Dawgs Hot Dogs, Neapolitan-style pies from Galileo Pizzeria, Trinidadian comfort food from Trini Plate, and ice cream from Iscreamery, among other vendors.
New vendors this year include Tacoma tattoo shop Level Up Studio and BeSpoke Bikeworks, a mobile bike shop that will hand out free bike helmets for kids and offer free bike safety checks.
The flea market will run 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Memorial Fieldhouse at UPS. You can see a full list of vendors on the university website.
Tickets are $5 and are available online or in person at the event. Kids 5 years old and under get in free.
