The Brooklyn Flea Philly debuts in Northern Liberties on Sunday at 10am, bringing with it over 100 vendors of collectibles and antiques, vintage clothing, jewelry, art, and handmade goods, along with a variety of local and Brooklyn-based food vendors.

A word from the wise, i.e. market manager Mark Vevle: "Come hungry and early for the best finds, and if you like it, buy it—before it's gone for good." Our tip: Bring cash because not all vendors will accept credit cards. To help you get a sense of what the day will offer, we've compiled a gallery featuring 24 of the flea's can't-miss vendors.
