Beyond shopping, attendees can enjoy a variety of food trucks. A collection of classic and antique cars from the Connecticut Seaport Car Club will entertain shoppers of all ages.

The Mansion’s volunteers will host a White Elephant Table featuring items donated by supporters. The Gift Shop will also be open, offering museum-themed accessories and an eclectic selection of gifts, including logo-embroidered totes, designer jewelry, elegant scarves, and books on history and preservation.

The event will take place rain or shine. Vendor spaces are approximately 10x16 feet and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Vendor spaces are $85.00 each ($75.00 if submitted by July 15). Food truck spaces are $200.00 ($150.00 if submitted by July 15), with advance payment required. The Museum will offer a limited number of booths to area nonprofits who want to share their message and mission with Flea attendees. Admission to the Park and the outdoor event is free.
