More than 70 vendors have signed up to sell their vintage goods at the upcoming Del Ray Vintage and Flea Market on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The outdoor event is held every second Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.in the parking lots of Del Ray Psych & Wellness (1900 Mount Vernon Avenue), the Salvation Army (1804 Mount Vernon Avenue) and at the Corner of Mount Vernon and E. Custis Avenues. If the weather holds up, organizer Amy Eggers says she expects a big turnout. She also says that more than 2,000 people attended the market in August.
“It’s all dependent on the weather,” Eggers said. “But there’s one thing we try to shy away from. We’re not an arts and crafts fair, and I’m so thankful for the Del Ray Business Association’s Second Saturday art and craft market at Gustave Boulangerie (2213 Mount Vernon Avenue) to give folks that experience.”
Eggers, the owner of Stardust Vintage and Gift (1904 Mount Vernon Avenue), started the market with a handful of vendors six years ago.
“Over time we’ve tried to grow organically through an application process,” Eggers said, “because I want it to be a good mix of items for people of all ages with good rice points.”
