Treasure Island Flea becomes the TI Flea Pop-Up as they move indoors for the winter months January through March. The inside venue will allow the show to go on rain or shine and is being held in the historic, One Avenue of the Palms building located on Treasure Island. This is the last standing and useable building from the 1939 San Francisco World’s Fair. The TI Flea Pop-Up will be held the last Saturday and Sunday of each month with later show hours beginning at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day. The first show will be January 28-29.

“This is the only two-day monthly show in Northern California and the first to move indoors for the winter months. The TI Flea is a hybrid marketplace that hosts artists, indie, etsy and steampunk designers while also including the more traditional vendors, exhibiting vintage, antiques and collectibles. Not only are you going to experience great shopping but also the best SF gourmet food, wines and local upcoming bands. When we started this market we knew we were going to have to produce a show of shows to get 8,000 to 10,000 attendees out to Treasure Island. Most Bay Area residents have never had a reason or even knew they could go out to Treasure Island. I can’t tell you how many people have approached me and have said how easy it was to get to the island and how beautiful Treasure Island is. It only takes ten minutes from downtown San Francisco and the muni 108 runs every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said, co-founder Charles Ansanelli. “As we move forward to our second year we look to add even more unique shopping, DIY classes, entertainment and new specialty foods, like a seafood grotto with live lobsters and shell fish. The sky is really the limit, as we are on an island oasis with all the room in the world to expand and continue to make this the show where you are sure to experience the unique, cool and unusual,” said co-founder, Angie Ansanelli.
