    Join us Nov 17th & Nov 24th 11am – 3pm for our November Capitol Hill Indoor Flea Markets – FREE to attend!

    Located in the historic Oddfellows Building in the Pike/Pine Corridor of Capitol Hill at 915 E. Pine St. (2nd floor in the ballroom).

    On select Saturdays 11am-3pm, Century Ballroom opens its doors to house an eclectic mash up of vintage, furniture, home goods, and hand made. The result: ”the American flea market trend of random detritus loitering dustily on card tables is replaced with curated collections of stuff you won’t find anywhere else: clothes and wares from both local designers and vintage collectors, antiques, jewelry, artifacts, etc. Wear comfortable shoes.” -David Schmader, The Stranger.

    Founded by Hallie Kuperman of Century Ballroom and The Tin Table, the indoor market is intended to create a community atmosphere centered on supporting local small business.
