Find something old, fun and funky at the Mercado Flea this Sunday, Oct. 11, which resumes after ending its spring season early because of COVID-19 and then taking the summer off.
Located along South Avenida del Convento, the street that connects Mercado San AgustΓn to the Mercado annex, the Flea takes places from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. the second Sunday of each month and features nearly 40 vendors selling everything from vintage toys to midcentury modern furniture.
As an added bonus, a number of food trucks, including Eat Mastri Egyptian, Lajkonik Polish Food, Oβodham Ladies and Takoyaki Balls, will be on-site from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday as part of Tucson Meet Yourselfβs monthlong celebration, being held in lieu of one large mass gathering downtown.
All of the Mercadoβs restaurants have also reopened, including Kukai, serving Japanese cuisine at the annex, Presta Coffee and La Estrella Bakery.
The Mercado Flea is free to attend. More information can be found at mercadodistrict.com/events.
Northwest residents who canβt make it downtown might also consider the 2nd Sunday Vintage Market in the Loweβs parking lot, 4075 W. Ina Road, which also recently reopened and runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. each second Sunday through the spring (facebook.com/2ndsundayvintagemarket).
