The Flea Off Market

The Flea Off Market continues to bring an eclectic array of artisans and sellers together, making for a purely Louisville shopping experience.I partook of the Flea Off Market most recently at its annual indoor holiday bazaar, this year held at Mellwood Art Center. This included a couple of food trucks plus vendors set up throughout the two outside buildings at the art center. I also appreciate how well the Flea sets the mood for their markets, with DJs in each building and a bar where you can buy drinks. The Flea has always been more of an experience, where it's fun to shop and also to hang out. During this most recent market, I found several creative vendors that I wished I could buy from. I said to my friend who accompanied me, "I wish I had people cool enough on my Christmas list to buy some of these things for." Alas, I just had family on my list. ;-PSome of my favorite finds, though, included Georgia's Sweet Potato Pie Co. (also has a spot in the Highlands that's worth a visit!), SnoWhat, Eichen Design, FLY Girl Candles and Eden & Kissi (also has a physical location that you should go to in Buechel). I was also struck by the idea that I really need to make it a point to go to more of the Flea's outdoor markets next year so I can shop these great vendors not just at the holidays. Thanks for continuing to bring some wonderful weirdness to Louisville, Flea Off Market!

The Flea Off Market continues to be a staple in the Louisville community. It is scheduled frequently enough to be easily visited more than once during its main season. This is a good pit stop during a beautiful day but no need to allot more than an hour.Common offerings by vendors: clothing, jewelry, artwork, food/desserts and thrift items. Vendors are diverse and pricing falls into several budgets.Street parking is easy to find. Free to attend and they have a drop box for donations. Dogs on leashes are welcomed.

This was such a fun event to attend in Nulu this past weekend. Admission is free and it is located right on Market St., hence the name. Parking can be tricky, but if you park just a short distance away the walk is not too bad. Upon arriving, my friend and I noticed a stage that had a young teen band playing. There were food vendors everywhere. Furthermore, there was plenty of craft beer and local distilleries present as well. This market went as far down as where the new guacamole restaurant is. They had everything from a petting farm, crafts, and local goods for sale. This is a great weekend event to bring family, friends, and the kiddos. It runs almost every weekend, weather permitting! I highly recommend checking it out!

My BF and I got here on Sunday to see what's new. A few food trucks set up throughout. The merchants are super nice and have great stuff. We loved hear local artists singing on the stage.It was just a good times and a great day for walking around and browsing at some stuff. There are so many different booth stuff from plants, clothes, books, jewelry and more. There was even a water station providing free water. Some local artists had there work displayed as well. Check it out next time

Smaller than I expected. And the marketing video showed all kinds of yard art, but not a single vendor displaying any. For people watching, and meeting fellow dog lovers, the Flea Off Market is fun. You will find local honey, crafts, wood carving, knives, tie dye clothing. But it depends on who decides to show up. The food truck selection was ok. Gourmet Hot Dogs, Wings, Mediterranean. The wings were close to an hour wait for undercooked wings and undercooked fries. Nice folks, but really need to work on quality & consistency.Still ... my wife and I enjoyed ourselves - and it's an expense free way to kill a few hours (unless you hit the food court) ... or buy everything you see.

This was your basic flea market - heavy on hand crafted jewelry and clothing; some botanicals; some CBD; etc. There was a nice (although small) food area where we had some exceptional hot dogs. Mine was Waggu beef with cream cheese, jalapeños and a jalapeño jelly. Excellent.Good place to kill a hour or two.

I finally was in town on a Flea Off Market weekend! The best friend and I have been talking about going forever! Hot tip...parking is going to be hard to come but...if walking is an option, park a bit farther out and walk to the location. Lots of vendors, my son loved all the vintage clothes, homemade items, treats for your favorite pet too! Bands play throughout the day, and there was a choir singing while we were there! Food trucks, a bar with great drinks, great weekend adventure!

This is definitely the place to go if you are interested in handmade goods. That really isn't my personal style (I am more interested in vintage goods that you'd find at a flea market), but nonetheless, I really like to look at everything! They had a couple different food trucks set up, an outdoor bar, and a few booths that were selling sweets. I got a couple tacos from Fistful of Tacos, a "Bourbonade" from the bar, and some macarons from the Manic Macarons booth. Everything was so yummy! It's a fun place to kill an hour on the weekend.

A great event with lots of solid vendors and food!The "Flea Off" is a recurring event in Louisville with vendors of many stripes and lots of food trucks to delite your palate. Food vendors tend to be pretty varied, from Irish to tacos, to bbq, to Greek, and more. Vendors are even more diverse. You'll see custom woodwork, hand-made soaps, bourbon balls, pet bandanas, window replacement companies, apparel, antiques, jewelry, desserts, accessories, art, leather goods, home decor, and crafts of many of kinds. The market tends to be large and with plenty to see. So you can expect to spend a little time here. Be sure to snag a coffee or a boozy drink to hold while you peruse. The artisans tend to be friendly and ready to talk about their work. And you'll meet some wonderful people around.

This flea is dead. Used to be a Louisville go to for weekend fun and thrifting. Barely recovered the booth rental. Do NOT recommend to vendors.
