The Spring 2013 edition of the Brooklyn Flea Record Fair is just
around the corner, and with 50 vendors, an all-star DJ lineup curated by
Red Bull Music Academy, and the return of
Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales—plus Smorgasburg—it's a doozy.
In addition to the 50 collectors, shops, and record labels, we'll
have a small stage featuring the best music you've ever shopped to: DJ
/rupture (Dutty Artz), James Friedman (Throne of Blood), James Pants,
Veronica Vasicka (Minimal Wave), Dan Selzer (Acute Records), and Dean
Bein (True Panther)—all of whom will take a break from selling records
at their label tables to spin a few. (See below for a list of some of
the goodies that vendors are pulling out special for the record fair.)
Located inside Smorgasburg, the spring Record Fair (stay tuned for
the fall date) will be located just a feet away from all the tasty
treats and beverages the food market has to offer—as well as a special
visit from Delaware's Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales, which will be
providing three of their finest seasonal beers just for the day.
Hours are 11am-6pm, adjacent to Smorgasburg inside East River State
Park, at Kent Avenue and North 7th St. in Williamsburg. To get first
pick at records and grub, we recommend arriving on the early side. Entry
is free.
