Buy Vintage, Local, Handmade…
Nothing boxed. Nothing pre­packaged in plastic wrap. Nothing with a bar code. This year, Basilica Hudson in collaboration with Hudson River Exchange will bring Basilica Farm & Flea back to Hudson for a second time. With more than 80 vendors and 3,500 attendees, last year’s Basilica Farm & Flea was a wildly successful Thanksgiving Weekend marketplace showcasing quality products presented by regional makers, farmers, and vintage collectors.

The “Black Friday Soirée,” kicks-off the weekend event and marketplace on Friday, November 28 from 5-9 PM. The marketplace takes place on Saturday, November 29 through Sunday, November 30 from 10 AM – 6 PM and consists of a diverse group of regional makers, farmers, and vintage collectors. Visitors can come to shop, hear music, eat quality foods, attend one of our educational workshops or cultural lectures.

With 17,000 sq feet of industrial interior space, this promises to be the only market of its kind in the region!

Basilica Farm + Flea is being organized by a team of passionate volunteers, consisting of the Basilica Hudson team and local makers, farmers, and shop owners. To apply to be a volunteer, please click here or fill out the form below.
