The upstairs lounge at Blackbyrd, 2005 14th Street NW, will become a flea market this Sunday, September 2.

Williams and Steinberg said music and drinks will be available at the bar. Hours are noon to 6 pm.

“DC Flea Market has been happening since March with great success,” says Steinberg.

Men’s and women’s vintage clothes and accessories (plus some other goodies) will be on display. There will be a number of different sellers there, so stop by for some great fashion finds!

Vendors include Thelma’s Vintage, I Found That Vintage and Thembe Fashions and crafty, creative jewelry from the N Street Village’s Community Craft Colle.
