Kill Two Birds with One Stone: Attend an Incredible Flea Market and Buy a Great Home in Maplewood

Maplewood is hosting its annual Baker Street Flea Market. The downtown streets will be closed off for a huge variety of items for sale.

What began on one block of Baker Street now stretches across Baker Street, Maplewood Avenue and Highland Place, bringing together independent makers, artists, small businesses, neighbors and visitors from across New Jersey and beyond.

It is the kind of day people want to spend time in: music spilling into the street, kids dancing between booths, friends running into one another and something new to discover around every corner.

Or stay a bit longer and come to Oysterfest, also in Downtown Maplewood. Great food, and so much more! And its a fundraiser as well for melanoma.
