About the The Scranton Punk Rock Flea Market
Born and built in Scranton, The Scranton Punk Rock Flea Market is a celebration of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s underground art, music, and DIY community. What started in 2011 as the Scranton Zine Fest has grown into the largest and longest independently-run marketplace rooted in the Electric City’s creative scene.
Curated by Scranton-based artist and organizer Jess Meoni, the event brings together artists, makers, zinesters, collectors, and small businesses from Northeast Pennsylvania, the tri-state area, and beyond. This is a space for people who make things with their hands and their hearts, have an eye for interesting finds, and play by their own rules — whether you’re just starting out or have been doing this for decades. This event exists to uplift artists, small makers, and underground culture. It’s about connection, accessibility, and supporting one another — not gatekeeping or exclusivity.

Vendor Space

- Two chairs are available to you at the venue.
- Each vendor space is approximately 10 ft in width by 5 ft in depth (roughly the size of an 8 ft table to fit at least).
- Vendor spaces are not exact. We will align vendors accordingly on a first-come, first serve, basis. Our spacing is very loose and forgiving to alow for irregularity and creativity within everyone's table setup.

- Spaces near outlets are limited and cost extra for reserved placement.
