Antiques Fair
In keeping with Larchmere tradition, the spirit of the Larchmere
Festival rests
soundly with antique decorative arts. Sublime,
distinguished and well-crafted furniture and small collectibles will be
featured by both merchants who have shops on the street, in addition to
invited dealers who will create a mini antiques fair of quality
collectibles.
Location: Shaker Heights
parking lot, 12755 Larchmere

Galleries Galore
Nothing speaks summer festival more than outdoor browsing of arts &
crafts. We'll have many local, independent artists who will fill
your heart with pride for your hometown, inspire your dreams, and
enrich your soul with beauty. That's three reasons to smile.
Location: along the sidewalks of
Larchmere

Sidewalk Sales
We aim to cover the sidewalks from East 130th Street to East 121st
street with interesting vendors of all kinds. Of course the merchants
who live year-round on Larchmere will be represented in front of their
stores, but the spaces on the edges, corners and in-between will be
filled by vendors of collectibles, kitsch, vintage goods, community
resources, non-profits and foods of all kinds. There's an art to
the boulevard
browse, and with almost ten blocks of great stuff, this is the heart of
street festival.
Location: Larchmere between E. 121 &
E. 130 Streets

Bazaar Bizarre
Not your granny's craft fair! The artists who comprise the
popular indie Bazaar Bizarre are spunky, outrageous, and irreverent --
and so is their art. We are pleased that this
indie market will join us again in our Larchmere celebrations, and we
invite you to discover the quirky, homemade kitsch that has made them
famous.
Location: sidewalks & parking lots
from the corner of E. 127th Street to Mo's lot,
(12609-12637 Larchmere)

Community Flea Market
Everyone loves a flea market. Scads of useful but used stuff will
be available for sale by friends, neighbors, residents, and -- you,
perhaps? Here's your chance to make a buck and clean out your
garage and basement at the same time. Vendor fees support the
Larchmere Community Association and their neighborhood security
program. One man's trash is another man's treasure!
