Picture this: a vibrant, bustling open-air market sprawling across Baker Street, Maplewood Avenue, and Highland Place, absolutely brimming with creativity and unique finds. It's more than just a market; it's a genuine celebration of local artistry and community spirit, and it's all happening on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 11 a.m. right up until 5 p.m.

What can you expect to uncover, you ask? Well, prepare to be delighted! Over 130 independent makers, vintage curators, and talented artists are lining up to showcase their incredible wares. Imagine wandering through aisles filled with exquisite handmade jewelry, one-of-a-kind ceramics, captivating original art, and charming home goods that just beg to be taken home. And for those who love to refresh their wardrobe or simply adore a good rummage, there'll be plenty of stylish clothing and truly unique vintage finds. Don't forget the specialty foods to tempt your taste buds and stacks of records for the audiophiles out there! Each booth tells a story, offering a little piece of someone's passion.

But hold on, it’s not just about the shopping – oh no, far from it! The Baker Street Flea is also a feast for the ears and soul. You'll discover not one, not two, but three distinct performance areas, each pulsing with the energy of live bands, talented DJs, and fantastic emerging local artists. It truly transforms the streets into a lively festival atmosphere. Whether you're a fan of upbeat tunes or something a bit more mellow, there's sure to be a soundscape to perfectly accompany your leisurely stroll. This year, we're especially thrilled that In Tune Maplewood will be expertly managing the Highland Place stage, promising a fantastic lineup.

And for those who think they've seen it all at past Fleas, guess what? This year brings some super exciting new additions to elevate your experience even further! There's a brand-new music area specifically designated for Maplewood Avenue, meaning even more tunes to enjoy as you browse. And get ready to unwind at the fabulous Studio Envie Wine & Tap Yard. Here, you can sip on exquisite wines from Lum's Cellars or enjoy a refreshing brew from Pallet Brewing Company, making it the perfect spot to take a little break, soak in the atmosphere, and toast to a wonderful day.

This incredible free, open-air market, which promises fun come rain or shine, is brought to life by the wonderful folks at Maplewood Arts & Culture. They've partnered with the Columbia High School Scholarship Fund, meaning your presence and purchases help support a fantastic cause within our very own community. So, gather your friends, bring the family, and make plans to immerse yourselves in the vibrant tapestry of local talent and community spirit that is the Baker Street Flea. It's truly a day not to be missed!
