Over the Canada Day long weekend, the HSCA Flea Market hosted a fun-filled Canada Day event. This special event market was decked out with Canadian flags, red and white decorations, and unique Canadiana displays by vendors. The event also featured a series of family fun activities, facepainting, prizes, and a scavenger hunt. Both vendors and patrons participated in this interactive scavenger hunt and received a ‘passport card’ which featured three (3) categories: ‘take a selfie with it’; ‘buy it’; and ‘do it’. The scavenger hunt was a hit and popular with people of all ages and encouraged vendors and shoppers to explore and ‘travel’ around to see all the market has to offer. Participants received completion stamps on their passports from various outposts around the market.

Angel, the HSCA Flea Market Manager, explains that community events like this capture the community spirit that makes the HSCA Flea Market unique. Although the Sunday market is a great way to save, support local vendors and shop sustainably, many people come to connect with friends and community, grab a coffee (and/or the breakfast) “Our market is more than a market... it’s family” she added.

The HSCA Flea Market runs EVERY Sunday, year-round from 7am-3pm and admission is FREE. Bring the family to browse, connect, or grab some lunch or breakfast at the concession (Queen Latina’s is serving up delicious food every Sunday). The Flea Market has over 100 vendors, featuring crafts, furniture, antiques, books, household items, and more!
