For the second year running, the Alamo Square Flea Market will coincide with the Western Addition's annual round of Sunday Streets, bringing vendors, games, and crowds of neighbors to the streets.
The Alamo Square Flea Market is celebrating its 32nd annual event this Sunday. Running from 10am-4pm, vendors will line three edges of Alamo Square—along Fulton, Scott and Hayes streets.
The yearly event is put on by a team of volunteers, in collaboration with the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association (ASNA). A booth for the neighborhood group will be located at the intersection of Fulton and Scott streets, and District 5 Supervisor London Breed will be there for part of the day answering questions and talking to neighbors.
Each year, several vendor spots are donated to non-profits. This year, the Victorian Alliance (which offers tours of local Victorian houses) and the Creative Arts Charter School will be in attendance.
ASNA will also hold a raffle with prizes from local merchants. Prize include nights at Chateau Tivoli or The Grove Inn, as well as gift certificates to Nopa, Nopalito, Bi-Rite, and more. Tickets cost $2.
