Besides great vendors the market will feature activities including ping pong, bouncy houses for kids and soccer clinics with players from The New York Cosmos soccer club. LIC FLEA & FOOD is a fun and vibrant weekend destination for the entire family.
“LIC Flea & Food had a spectacular first season bringing together amazing vendors and the community for both our outdoor season and indoor holiday market,” said LIC Flea & Food President Joshua Schneps. “We look forward to a great season ahead offering a place for families to come for the day to enjoy the flea, the waterfront park, surrounding businesses and all that Long Island City has to offer.”
