Hello and thanks for registering to be a vendor at the 2025 Fall Community Bazaar & Flea Market in Vernon Park. We can’t wait to meet you, or see you again!
This yearly event brings our community together and generates a wonderful vibrant energy in the Park, connecting people with vital information and arts, as well as wonderful handmade and secondhand treasures. We are so excited to welcome everyone back to the park for this year’s Bazaar & Flea Market.
Crucial info below:
Weather:
We all watch the weather very carefully, as we don’t want to risk anyone’s treasures (or time) getting caught in the rain! Last year’s weather was beautiful, so we’re hoping for the same this year!
As always, if the forecast is looking iffy we will make the call by noon on Friday, October 17 and email you all, post on @FriendsofVernonPark Instagram & Facebook etc. either way. The raindate is Saturday, October 25 (same time + place).
If you are not able to make the rain date, we are happy to refund your donation/space fee upon request.
Check in: 7am – 8:30am. Please do not arrive before 7 am. Let the sun come up & let the volunteers set up. Don’t worry early birds, there is 8 acres of space to choose from.
Where: Northwest Entrance, near W. Rittenhouse & Greene Sts. For GPS, use 5855 Greene St 19144.
Simply pull in to the driveway and make your way to the spot of your choosing. We ask that you drive slowly to keep everyone safe. If you are staying for the duration of the event, you may keep your car parked behind your space on the grass. If not, please unload, safely make your way out and use the free Parking Area in the Center in the Park upper lot, at McCallum & W Rittenhouse Streets.
Please note: for safety reasons, no cars will be permitted to enter the park after 8:30 a.m. People are walking around. If you arrive late please park in the upper lot parking area and load in that way, or along Greene St if space is available.
Check out this map we made for reference so you can see where the entrance is, where the bazaar will be.
