The Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation has announced that the Brooklyn Flea will be moving its outdoor market to our front doorstep, that is, under the Brooklyn Bridge, in the space formerly occupied by the Purchase Building. The Flea will be open every Sunday starting June 14th and run through October. This will bring dozens of vendors and considerably more visitors to our area, along with opportunities to shop for antiques, vintage clothing and collectibles, fashion, art/crafts, jewelry, and food.
The Flea is the first step towards what park planners conceive as a Park Plaza, “a grand civic space” under the Bridge which will be the center for various activities.
What do you think about the upcoming Flea? Please send us your thoughts and comments, so we can communicate the same to the Brooklyn Bridge Development Corporation, or email Regina Myer directly at Rmyer@empire.state.ny.us and CC: fultonferry@gmail.com

i think having Brooklyn Flea here on summer Sundays will further enhance our neighborhood’s appeal as a vibrant destination place.
i have visited the Flea at both its current locations and found the mix of vendors to be both interesting and varied; the visitors for the most part wholesome types. i just hope the organizers will make sure the additional litter and garbage that’s generated will be disposed of quickly (so as not to further exasperate the area’s rat problem) and that the hours of operation will not be extended beyond sundown (for the sake of minimizing night noise and glaring lights). what, if anything, can we do to ensure this will be the case?
