STATE COLLEGE — Organizers for a curated outdoor urban-style flea market have announced they will host the event three times in 2017, including one in April.
The next Pop Up Ave will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 29, at the Garner Street Parking Lot, 150 S. Garner St. in downtown State College.
The event will be held again on two Saturdays, Sept. 23 and Dec. 9.
The announcement comes on the heels of the inaugural event last fall, which attracted more than 1,500 attendees. The event was highlighted by a 10-foot-tall sign created by local artist William Snyder III, who will unveil a new sign at the April event.
“We were so happy with the turnout for our first event and received so much positive feedback,” Andrea Groznik, Pop Up Ave cofounder, said in a press release. “We’re thrilled to keep it going.”
The free event is a curated mix of local and other vendors selling upcycled home décor, handmade bath products, artisanal jewelry, baked goods, vintage finds and more. It also showcases local art, live music and food. A full lineup of artists, crafters and vintage sellers for the April 29 will be announced soon, organizers said.
Groznik and her husband, Brad, cofounded Pop Up Ave upon returning to State College after living in New York City. There, flea markets such as this one regularly populate community calendars.
