The Lancaster Punk Rock Flea Market has several shows throughout the year all with FREE admission.
We’ve gone twice and each time really enjoyed ourselves. The flea market is held in the Masonic center in downtown Lancaster, on 2 floors with elevator access to the second floor, ample parking and in walking distance to food and other shops in the Queen Street area.
Unlike “regular” flea markets, attending a punk rock flea market, provides an alternative shopping adventure with a twist of the unconventional and unique. At The Lancaster Punk Rock Flea Market – Halloween Edition, the place was buzzing with shoppers and vendors all getting into the spirit of the season, wearing fun costumes and make-up.
We found cool vintage housewares and clothing, mixed in with hand crafted jewelry and original art, we also found some slightly macabre offerings like dolls re-created into fantasy creatures, bat and spiderweb jewelry, skull rings and purses and monster motif shirts. Perfect for the halloween season.
Vendors at these shows are always really fun to chat with and this show was no exception. Many were decked out for the halloween themed show. We had a great time talking with them about their booths and the art and objects that they created and were selling.
Some of the vendors we visited had travelled from New Jersey and other ti-state areas to sell in Lancaster. Many sell at other Punk Rock Flea markets, including the Trenton and Philadelphia Punk Rock Flea Markets. We haven’t gone to either show but heard they are fantastic.

Hi! Thanks so much for listing Forty Elephants as an upcoming market. The first day of the show is November 28, not 8 though.
Perhaps you can check it out this year. I work at The Scarlet Willow too, a vintage shop that you reviewed last year. From what you have previously visited, I think you’ll like the Forty Elephants show. If you do go, please be sure to find me and introduce yourself.
Hi Alicia
Thanks for the update, I fixed the date in the post. If we can make it over to Forty Elephants I will for sure find you. The Scarlet Willow is another one of our Lancaster favorites!
Thank you!!! I just messaged you again before I realized that you fixed it already. Please, ignore my numerous attempts to contact you. Hope to see you at one of the show dates!
Hi Alicia
Thanks again – sure hope I can make it to one of your dates. Looks like you’ve got some good vendors signed up.
I added the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market to Flea Market Philadelphia’s list since it’s not too far from Philly and I know a few Philly vendors that sell regularly. Lancaster, however, might be a different story; it’s farther away than Trenton and I don’t know any Philly vendors that go there. What do you think? Have you heard of any vendors from Philadelphia at Lancaster?
Hi
Yes I’ve met a few vendors from the Phila. and Nj area that sell at the Lancaster and Reading PRFM’s.
Thanks for stopping by!
Victoria
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I might add the Lancaster one to my listings and I’ll have to think about Reading.
Incidentally, I just read a online article that said the Philly PRFM scheduled for May 14 & 15 sold out in 1 minute. They opened up reservations on Wednesday, March 2 at noon and by 12:01, spaces were no longer available.
Wow sounds like it’s going to be a good market!
