Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market returns

The holiday edition of the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market (TPRFM) returns to the Cure Arena in Trenton, Dec. 10-11.

The TPRFM is held three times a year now, with one being held in December, the “Wreck the Halls” event.

TPRFM founder Joe Kuzemka told NJArts.net,

We aren’t your grandmom’s Christmas market. We have seen it all in terms of vendors. It takes a lot to surprise us at this point. We encourage people to come as they are and to celebrate themselves as people and humans and to not worry about being judged under our roof because that’s not something that we will ever let happen.

How to describe the unique holiday market? Here’s what the event’s website says:

The Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market is a DIY craft fair and Cultural celebration which occurs three times per year and features food trucks, live music, live tattooing and more plus and a carefully curated collection of hundreds of unique artists, makers and small businesses hailing from more than 25+ states (and Canada) that sell everything from Vintage Clothing & Toys, Original Artwork, Vinyl & Cassettes, Oddities & Taxidermy, Handmade Jewelry, Unique Collectibles, Horror Memorabilia, Interesting Curiosities, Antiques & Collectibles, Comics, Original Artwork, Cosplay Contests & more.

Over 400 vendors will be set up along with live music, food trucks and one of a kind merchandise. Weird New Jersey will even be there.

There’s also a special appearance planned by Gina Shock, former drummer of the Go-Gos.
