The annual Lake Junaluska Flea Market will take place from 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 8, at the open-air Nanci Weldon Memorial Gym at Lake Junaluska. Special early bird shopping is available from 7:30-8 a.m. for $5 cash.
This year’s flea market will feature home decor items, books, linens, tools, yard equipment, furniture, holiday decorations, small electrical appliances, office supplies, kitchenware, an expanded toys and games section, sporting and camping goods, plus homemade baked goods and more. Be sure to stop at the tent to check out the antiques and collectibles.
“We always look forward to welcoming everyone to this fun and family-friendly event full of useful items and unique treasures,” said Judy LaFountaine, co-chair of the flea market. “It’s a great place to find things to furnish an apartment, cabins, campers or spruce up your house.”
The flea market is hosted by The Junaluskans, a volunteer organization of Lake Junaluska Assembly made up of people who love Lake Junaluska. The annual flea market is the Junaluskans’ largest fundraising event of the year. “We are grateful for the extraordinary community support for this event and look forward to sharing in fun and fellowship with all who come to shop,” said LaFountaine.
Proceeds from the flea market go toward many projects, including maintenance of Lake Junaluska gardens such as the Rose Walk, Corneille Bryan Native Garden, Biblical Garden and Inspiration Point; the Swan Feeding Program; the Community Chorus; Christmas decorations at the lake; Lake Junaluska cleanup programs; sponsorship of Clothes to Kids; and the monthly book review program.
For the comfort and safety of all shoppers, no dogs are allowed at the flea market except for official service animals.
