Urban flea market draws eclectic crowd

This weekend marked the launch of the third annual Urban Flea Market in downtown Salt Lake City. The event is an affordable marketplace where an array of eclectic, vintage used and new items are for sale, including clothing, original artwork, furniture, tools, oddball knickknacks and other things, said co-founder and executive director Kate Wheadon.

It is the biggest downtown flea market and a great place to find and sell antiques, secondhand and locally made treasures, said co-founder Michael Sanders.

The monthly events are held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month through October, with selected dates for the market on June 9, July 14, Aug. 11, Sept. 8 and Oct. 13. There are booth spaces available for up to 70 vendors with free parking for patrons, Wheadon said. Deseret News
