The Lucky Flea is a large open-air flea market that hosts over 100 vendors every Sunday in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts. The Flea is a space for local creatives, collectors and vintage curators to gather and sell while connecting with their local customers every week. Our alternative market provides an accessible shopping experience that welcomes patrons to support sustainable efforts and small businesses. The diverse crew of vendors changes weekly, creating a consistently new experience to discover. The market will operate 10AM - 4PM this year, outdoors at 320 N Goodman Street. Rochester's favorite food trucks and food vendors will join in on the event, offering local good eats and treats.

You will only be charged if you are ACCEPTED for your selected vending dates.
 
NO REFUNDS: There are no date transfers or refunds of the vending fee as vendor fees are used for promotional materials, rent and event costs.
 
WEATHER: The market is a rain or shine event. We will remain open in all weather that allows us to continue to operate safely.
 
YOUR VENDING SPACE: Your space at The Lucky Flea will be a spot appropriate for the size of your truck on the asphalt of the Village Gate parking lot located at 320 N Goodman Street. No additional vending materials will be provided. The complete vendor map (including finalized food truck vendor space assignments) will be released via email one week prior to your participating date. Vendor spaces are not necessarily the same for each market, so keep an eye out for space changes every week.
 
SETUP AND BREAK DOWN: Setup time is between 7AM - 10AM, all food trucks must be parked at their spot by 9AM and ready to open at 10AM. Any food trucks that arrive after market open will NOT be allowed to set up for safety reasons. Breakdown can begin after market close at 4PM. Food trucks cannot leave early under any circumstances as this poses a large safety concern for all patrons/ vendors at the market.
 
TRASH BINS: Food truck vendors must bring trash cans with them to set up next to their truck. These cans must be checked throughout the market to make sure customers have an area to dispose of their food refuse.
