The Treasure Island Flea, which operates on the last weekend of every month, hosts hundreds of local Bay Area exhibitors. In addition to antiques and collectibles there is independent designer merchandise, handmade one of-a-kind items, repurposed and up-cycled goods, shabby chic and French garden pieces, art, specialty food purveyors and more. The open-air market is held on Treasure Island, Avenue of the Palms, on Saturday and Sunday on the last weekend of the month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This show is an experience, a haven of cool and unusual finds. It’s a place where shoppers connect directly with the designer, maker or collector of the products. Each market experience will be different, it will have a changing selection of both merchandise and food, said co-founders Angie and Charles Ansanelli. We look to include local entertainment and special events. Customers attending the Treasure Island Flea will not only walk away with great treasures but also with memories of their finds to share for years to come.
Treasure Island Flea also prides itself on providing a rewarding and convenient experience for exhibitors and food purveyors. Those interested in participating in the event can find more information online at www.treasureislandflea.com.
Treasure Island itself has played a significant role in history. The island was man-made in 1937, making it San Francisco’s third great project just behind the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. The island hosted the World’s Fair in 1939. After the World’s Fair, the island was set to become San Francisco’s Municipal Airport but ended up being seized by the Navy and played a pivotal role in WWII. Treasure Island is centrally located in the heart of the Bay Area and boasts some of the most spectacular views of the city.
The show will operate in August on Saturday and Sunday, August 27 and 28. Treasure Island Flea can be contacted at Info@TreasureIslandFlea.com or (415) 898-0245.
