I enjoyed it. A lot of nice artisans with great products. Definitely pick up some nuts from the Rhode Island nut company. When I went it was indoors, which is great because it was cold. Definitely go across the street to the industrious spirit company. I got a good flight of vodka and whiskey. Highly recommend.

Awesome artisan flea market. I loved all of the curated and handmade booths and that they had food trucks along the area. Lots of unique items and no entry fee.

Never know what perfect piece of art or vintage artifact you will find. Friendly, fantastic food trucks and eclectic finds...

Total was of time. We were waiting for a parking spot and a group of teenage girls just swooped in and stole our spot. They were nasty creatures. I recently had a hip injury and a bit of difficulty walking so we waited for that spot. When we finally got inside no fresh fruits or veggies it was more like a church fair.

Unfortunately, you've confused us with the farmer's market in the same location.

So many birds around and it is very cold. No one really come at that time!
The view is great, I could see the river and bridges.

The best place to find unique items, including vintage and hand crafted. Great selection of vendors. Indoors in the winter and outdoors in the spring & summer. You can also find the best food trucks in Providence! I always find something new and fun each time I go.

Has some of the most original items in Rhode Island. Great for Christmas gifts. Some of the highlights are pottery, candles, body products, vintage clothes, art, jewelry.

We advertise the Flea as a vintage and artisan/maker market with 60+ vendors so you won't find any of these items in stores unless they specialize in hand-screened tees or vintage concert tees. Handmade and vintage items typically cost more because they are not mass-produced. Sorry it wasn't your cup of tea!

Went to the flea for the first time this summer. Have to say I was quite disappointed. There were very few vendors there and the ones that were had things that were quite expensive. When you see flea market you think, recycled, used, or lower priced. While I did enjoy some of the vendors, I have to say we did the whole market in under an hour. It's in a pretty spot but that's about the best I can do.

We advertise the Flea as a vintage and artisan/maker market with 60+ vendors, with something for everyone. We don't promote ourselves as an average typical flea market. We're a small venue with food trucks, live music and community nonprofits as well. Handmade and vintage items typically cost more because they are not mass-produced. Sorry it wasn't for you, but thanks for stopping by!

Not what I think of as a typical flea market. There is a lot of exceptional original art and the whole place has a funky, artsy feel. The food trucks offered a wide variety of eats for shoppers. The location on the water and the fun, lighthearted vibe were a welcome departure from the ordinary.
