When you start a thing you never know where it will take you, the times you’ll miss, the things you’ll learn…

Family, today is a special one — the final Newark First Fridays as we’ve known it + a celebration of 10 festival seasons.

Councilwoman Bey + Newark Municipal Council will be presenting Newark First Fridays and me with a proclamation during the evening. 🥹

🛍️ NEWARK FIRST FLEA MARKET — THIS SATURDAY

Last year looked like this. 👀
This Saturday, we’re back outside ☀️ — celebrating 10 seasons of Newark First Fridays.

For nearly a decade, we’ve been creating space to shop, create, connect, and celebrate Newark. The Flea Market is that spirit in a new form: local makers, vintage finds, art, good music, and good people coming together in the heart of the city.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 12
🕕 6–9:30 PM
📍 Chambers Plaza at @NJPAC

MORE THAN A MARKET.

And after 10 seasons, there’s plenty more to say. The “10 Years Producing an Indie Festival in Newark” retrospective is coming soon.

TWO MORE DATES:
🛍️ Newark First Flea Market — Sept. 12
🎧 Newark First Fridays: Parlor Things — Oct. 2

5 DAYS. SEE YOU SATURDAY. 👐🏾
