The Denver Flea throwing four-day holiday shopping spree

The Denver Flea — a second-year event series that cultivates the Colorado lifestyle and represents the craftsman community — returns with its four-day holiday edition Dec. 3 through 6.

In 2014, the Holiday Flea took over Bindery on Blake for a weekend of maker discovery; this December, the Flea continues its takeover tradition at a new venue: the 80,000 square foot warehouse that was once home to The Denver Post, one of the largest newspaper production sites in the country. While dormant for the past decade, The Holiday Flea will bring it back to life by transforming the space into one the biggest parties of the holiday season.

“At our first Holiday Flea, the sense of community forged between makers and Colorado locals was tangible,” said Casey Berry, co-founder of Denver Flea and founder of Imbibe Events. “Over the last year, that connection has continued to strengthen, and we’ve created even more ways for attendees to enjoy the festivities.”

The Holiday Flea brings a variety of different experiences for its four-day run, showcasing its community of 150 Colorado-centric return vendors and curated new additions. Wares range from handmade jewelry, leather goods and artisan food products to local beauty lines, art, illustrations and beyond. Vendors include Spinster Sisters, Knotty Tie, Western Daughters and Rare Finds. Entry to the Flea is $5 and includes a Denver Flea tote, New Belgium beer and donation to local nonprofit Reading Partners.

“The last two years have been incredibly successful,” said Blake Adams, co-founder of the Denver Flea. “We’ve grown the Denver Flea brand, refined our roster of amazing Colorado craftsmen and craftswomen, partnered with organizations we care about, and applied feedback from our vendors and attendees to make the Denver Flea the best it can be. The second annual Holiday Flea will be a thoughtful culmination of all of these elements, and a really good time.”

Parking is available all weekend; valet is included for anyone who purchases tickets for the Thursday and Friday festivities.
