Vintage hunting on Lancaster Ave

Phila Flea Markets sets up an outdoor vintage and antique market near Drexel University on Saturday, Sept. 26. Shoppers come for clothing, furniture and collectibles.

Free, and all day

The market runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 3400 Lancaster Ave. in University City. Admission costs nothing, so you can drop in for ten minutes or stay for hours.

Rain has a backup plan

If Saturday washes out, the market moves to Sunday, Sept. 27. Worth noting before you write off a gray forecast.

Closets and living rooms

Vendors bring vintage clothing, hats, handbags and accessories, plus antique furniture, artwork, pottery, jewelry and home decor.

Crates, cartridges and comics

Dig for vinyl records, comic books, toys and retro video games. Glassware, porcelain and cookware round out the tables.

One stop on a tour

The Drexel date belongs to a traveling series that moves vintage and antique markets through Philly neighborhoods from spring into fall.

Running since 1985

The organizer, also known as the Philly Flea, has been putting on markets in Philadelphia for four decades. Not a pop-up experiment.

Open to everyone

Organizers say all of their markets are accessible to people with disabilities. Details are available through Phila Flea Markets directly.
