Kiwanis Club of Carefree Flea Market 

& Marketplace

Saturday, March 8

8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Does NASCAR memorabilia get your engine revving? Does the thought of adding a vintage Avon perfume bottle (or two, or three) to your collection sound sweet?

There are many popular collectibles at the upcoming Carefree Kiwanis Flea Market and Marketplace on Saturday, March 8, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m, in addition to the usual vast array of furnishings, electronics, exercise equipment and housewares. 

You can treasure hunt at both the Flea Market and Marketplace on March 8, because the Marketplace is located at 7171 Cave Creek Road, Carefree, Arizona 85377, across the parking lot from the Flea Market. Look for the large Kiwanis Club of Carefree Marketplace signs.

The Carefree Kiwanis Flea Market is located at Dave Anderson Memorial Building, 7177 E. Ed Everett Way in Carefree, Arizona 85377 (southwest corner of Tom Darlington and Cave Creek Road).

Cash, credit cards and checks (with I.D.) will be accepted. All proceeds benefit the Youth Programs of Kiwanis Club of Carefree, a 501.c3 organization.
