The Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market hosts several events per year which are held in Trenton and Edison, New Jersey. Our events host 100’s of vendors from around the country (and Canada). Items being sold range from original art and all things vintage to independent clothing lines, vinyl, taxidermy and plenty of other unique collectibles and curio.
If you would like to be a part of our ever-growing list of valiant vendors, then PLEASE READ the short list of instructions below!
We use our Email List as well as our VENDOR FACEBOOK GROUP to communicate with our vendors. If you would like to vend with the TPRFM family of events, you should strongly consider signing up for one (or both) of them. You must be on (and remain on) our email list to receive event updates once you’ve registered with any of our events. Please click here to join the VENDOR MAILING LIST.
You may sell pre-packaged food but you MUST purchase a local Health Permit when you register. The cost of this is varies per event (and the city we are in at that time) but they usually fall in the $75 range and you will require one per event day. If you do not purchase this and you're selling food, you’ll hear from us asking you to take care of the payment immediately. So, play nice and register for that permit, y'all. We'll handle the rest and we file for those permits on your behalf. All you need to do is show up to the event and be ready for a quick health inspection.
Follow our Social media accounts! We regularly post about artists, micro events, food trucks and more happening within every edition of our events! Click any of these links to follow up on that social platform:
Any vendor who sells in the State of NJ should be registered as a business with the state. The TPRFM is not exempt from this. Although it is not a requirement to vend with us, to be valid in the State of NJ, you should be registered. If you would like to vend with the TPRFM, you should consider registering with the State of NJ as a business. You will be asked for your Sales Tax ID# during event registration. If you are not registered with the State, you will be asked to provide the last four digits of your SS#. More information is available at this link.
We do not offer refunds once you have registered with any of our events under any circumstances. This is a curated flea market which features 100’s of artists and DIY sellers. It takes the TPRFM dozens of hours per event to prune through the list of registered vendors to determine if they are a proper fit for our market. In other words... let's keep things easy. Make sure you can vend on the date you sign up for and we'll be as cool as the other side of the pillow. Capice? In the instance an event is postponed due to weather or other act of god, transfers to future event will be provided but we do not provide refunds under any circumstances.
