Artists & Fleas

We Angelenos welcome New York transplants with open arms—as long as they involve either gourmet ice cream or artisanal, handcrafted goodies. These criteria make the Arts District debut of Brooklyn-born craft market Artists & Fleas a no-brainer. And more than other flea market on in Los Angeles, the Downtown Los Angeles and Venice edition of Artists and Fleas is very much a manifestation of its neighborhood. Every Saturday from 11am-5pm, head to 740 E 3rd St for an outdoor weekend event, featuring locally made art, fashion, vintage wares, vinyl, edibles and beyond. The Venice market is every 2nd and 4th Saturday from 11am-5pm at 1010 Abbot Kinney Blvd. Mingle amongst LA's hippest while eyeing hand-beaded jewelry or one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood work from 75+ vendors. Plus, there's a "feed lot" each weekend that features five LA-based food trucks; past participants include Coolhaus, Currywurst and Komodo.
