Punk Rock Flea Market
Punk Rock Flea Market is the PNW's favorite underground shopping experience.
Friday December 12 - Sunday December 14, 2025
2:00pm to 8:00pm on Friday Dec 12
12 noon to 8:00pm on Saturday Dec 13
12 noon to 6:00pm on Sunday Dec 14
at Quality Flea Center - 416 15th Ave. E. 98112 WA
Silent night?!? Not fu*king likely! The Punk Rock Flea Market spreads the joy without the dogma this winter at the Quality Flea Center on 15th Ave. E on Capitol Hill.
December 12-14 the PRFM opens the doors to a community of brilliant artists and hard-working crafts people, showing the world how we make a marketplace that’s rooted in human relationships rather than exploitative bullshit. It’s an anti-capitalist shopping spree on Capitol Hill as we play host to nearly 200 purveyors selling vintage fashion, curated music, sneakers, taxidermy, dog collars, stickers, action figures, roller skates, gemstones, lunchboxes, cosmetics, ceramics, robot dogs AND SO MUCH MORE!
All of this while our attractive bartenders pour cheap drinks of your choice, killer DJ’s provide a lush shopping soundtrack, and locally famous food makers fill your bellies. It’s a hell of a scene!
The PRFM remains an ALL AGES experiment. We believe wholeheartedly that children represent our hopeful future, seniors demonstrate our checkered past, and everyone has something to gain from being part of the PRFM. And we staunchly resist inflation by asking only ONE DOLLAR to enter the Punk Rock Flea Market. Take that, forces of tyranny! Show up, make some noise, and experience what the free trade of objects and ideas really looks like.
Admission ALWAYS just ONE DOLLAR!!! Since 2006!
All ages welcome
