Wondering what to do with that hideous homemade birdhouse your aunt gave you last Christmas? Maybe you found an old box of totally awesome vintage bell-bottoms and Ron Burgundy-esque suits last time you cleaned out the attic? Or maybe you’re just looking for some awesome deals on hard-to-find records and local art? Well, then your dreams are about to come true.

Sunday, Dec 18 marks the return of Depot Town’s hippest swap meet / flea market / live concert combo—the Ypsi Flea #3. Buy, sell and trade for everything under the sun from vintage records and fashion to local food, crafts, knick-knacks and doo-dads. Did I mention thing-a-ma-jigs? A ton of local vendors will be on hand offering everything you’ve always wanted – and a lot more you never knew you had to have.

While the event is largely music-centric and there will be a ton of local record labels and bands promoting their goods, you can find an eclectic mix of offerings from across the board.

Ypsi Flea and Ypsi Flea #2 were hugely successful and Ypsi Flea #3 promises to be all that and more. In addition to the flea market / swap meet, there will also be live performances all day from Michigan bands Radiator Hospital, Sail, Avery Feral, Annie Palmer and City Center. The event is family-friendly, and—perhaps the best part of all—it’s completely free!

Ypsi Flea #3 will be held Sunday, Dec 18 at Woodruff’s in Depot Town. It’s open from noon – 8 p.m. with live music and shenanigans throughout the day. For more information or to sign their guest book, check out the Ypsi Flea #3 Facebook page.
