Enjoy Shopping & Fun Tomorrow At The Ditmas IS 62 Flea Market & Fair

Nora Whelan -


What are you up to this Saturday, May 3? Ditmas IS 62 (700 Cortelyou Road between E 7th and E 8th Streets) is having its first ever Friendly Neighborhood Flea Market & Fair from 10am-3pm, and neighbors are invited to take part in the festivities.

Attendees can dig for treasures like clothing,  jewelry, accessories, and knick knacks, get geared up for double the summer reading with the Scholastic BOGO Book Fair, or recycle old clothing for a 15% off credit to H&M. City agencies will also be present, including the Parks Department with their Play Mobile (enjoy basketball, volleyball, soccer, tug of war, relay races, and jump roping) and the NYPD helping parents get prepared just in case with the Operation Safe Child ID program.

The event will be held in IS 62’s Flagyard (E 8th Street near Cortelyou Road), with all proceeds going to education and programs for students at the school.
