Inaugural Flea Market | Pali High
Palisades Charter High School will host its inaugural community Flea Market on Sunday, October 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Our goal is to establish this as an annual tradition, providing an opportunity for members of the community to sell both new and cherished items,” said Johanna Minassian, an event organizer. “Notably, many of our vendors are students who are raising funds for their sports teams, charitable causes or for the benefit of Pali High.”
Food vendors slated to be at the event include Oma’s Puffers, Q Bao Dumplings and Sunset Smash. Matty Gottesman will perform live music.
At press time, more than 50 vendors had signed up. Booths are open to the Palisades community, according to a flyer. A 10×10 space is $50 for Pali High students/families, or $100 for non-Pali families. The vendor fees will go toward Pali High’s Booster Club.
The market will take place at Pali High’s campus, 15777 Bowdoin Street. For additional information, visit palihigh.onlinepartybook.com or email party4pali@gmail.com.
