This is an event that runs through April to December and is scheduled on a monthly basis. Each month is as different from the last. The Cleveland Flea highlights the talents of local Cleveland merchants and artists. Each month, vendors set up their booths to offer visitors a wide variety of items from antiques to modern home collectibles. The Wondering Wardrobe, featuring chic and hip women’s clothing, usually makes an appearance as well as many food trucks, including the Cleveland Fire Truck Pizza truck. The flea isn’t a flea market, it’s a collective event that features recycled items for indoors as well as out. Even though wintertime is a great time to visit The Cleveland Flea, nothing can be as exciting as shopping in a vacant parking lot in the streets of Cleveland. It offers delicious food, great music from locals and every now and then visitors may even witnesses a filming of a movie or the presence of a Hollywood star.
