On 30th of August from 10 AM to 8 PM takes place the Telliskivi Flea Market Festival 2014. The biggest annual flea market event in Estonia with more than 300 vendors takes place for the third time. The day is filled with entertainment, exciting activities for kids, and delicious food.
At Telliskivi Flea Market Festival everyone is invited to trading with stuff that is still usable but one does not need anymore. There are also special handicraft, antique and homemade food products areas in the festival area. Telliskivi Retail Street will move outside and special pop-up shops by Les Petites, Dharma Fashion, Minu Väike Maailm and Mimesis will be opened in front of Telliskivi Loomelinnak.
The best friend of the festival the Re-use Centre (Uuskasutuskeskus) supports us with advice, opens a donation station and lends you a plate to eat which is good way of leaving a smaller ecological footprint during the festival.
The festival is environmentally friendly - re-usage of products and items is favoured and reasonable garbage management is a “must” (everybody should sort their garbage into different pins).
The Entertainment programme will be diverse and rich. DJs are playing laidback and joyful music. On the main stage you can see science theatre and lice-music acts. NGO Mondo opens it’s doors and invites you to visit them, taste fairtrade chocolate and coffee and listen to stories from third world countries visited by Mondo volunteers. Bid Kid’s Area is opened in the courtyard of Telliskivi Loomelinnak where kid’s can take part in workshops and try some activities that challnge their balance and skillfullness but offer a lot of fun.
Entrance fee is 1 €. More detailed information, the area plan and programme will be available shortly.
There will be more than 300 sellingspots available in the festival. The whole market is divided into smaller specified areas – person-to-person re-use goods, vintage and antique, handicraft and food market (professional producers and homemade products).
Everyone can book a sellingspot and sell usable and functional stuff that one does not need anymore but what could be useful for others (clothes, dishes, appliances etc). Come and find some cool stuff.
Pre-booked sellingspot costs 10 € and booking the table on a festival day costs 15 €. Car places cost 15 € and 17 € depending on a size of a car. Sellingspot in food market costs 30 € + VAT.
Booking the sellingspots is organized by MTÜ Eesti Kirbuturg. For booking the spot visit www.kirbuturg24.ee (in estonian).
