Punk Rock Flea Market (Finally…)

January 26, 2009 • 4:11 pm • POSTED BY Jon Fruman

After being canceled twice, the punk rock flea market has finally found a venue and will be taking place this Sunday at the Electric Factory. Copied below is a letter from Sean Agnew, the man behind R5Productions, with all the juicy details. As a short note, the PRFM is an awesome place to go, walk around and check out things from music, t-shirts, poster/art, Nintendo video games and so on (Check the seller list here). At $3 bucks to get in and the Super Bowl bowl taking place at 6, there’s no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My recommendation for all is to go with 20 bucks, beg, barter, and have fun.

At The Electric Factory (7th and Willow Sts – Just Below 7th and Spring Garden Sts)
All Ages / 21+ To Drink / $3 entry donation

THE PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET – WINTER EDITION !
(130+ tables of vendors selling old records, clothes, art, music, food, junk, bicycles, stereo equipment, instruments, automobiles, tools, posters, furniture, computers, skateboards and lots of other stuff ! All proceeds goto making sure that all ages shows remain a reality at the first unitarian church !)

It’s back! that time again for the bi-annual (twice a year) PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET. R5′s most popular reoccurring event/show/whatever by far. We continually have over 2000 visitors and 100+ tables of old records, clothes, art, music, food, junk, bicycles, stereo equipment, instruments, automobiles, tools, posters, furniture, computers, skateboards and lots of other stuff this past June. It’s all going down at The ELECTRIC FACTORY located just below 7th and Spring Garden Sts – a big spacious venue – giving them ability to host over 130 vendors in one single room. Their biggest market to date!
.
All proceeds raised will goto the purchase of necessary equipment and supplies to ensure that all ages shows continue to remain a reality at The First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia – mainly an annual payment for their liability insurance policy. Do not let the “name of the event” lead you to believe that it’s just punk records, clothes etc. – it’s a full on flea market with everything from furniture, to laptops / computers , to stereo equipment, to handmade apparel, to vegan treats, information from various non profit groups, book stores, artists selling their work, bicycles & skateboards and whatever else they can fit onto the ballroom floor at The Electric Factory .

In addition to the normal flea market stuff there will also be a full bar and food service kitchen to make the day go by a little faster.
