‘Tis the season to clear out your old gear and score something new (to you). Bring your clean gear, set your own prices, and buy, sell, or trade. Coming to shop?

Space is limited to about 10–12 tables (feel free to team up with friends), plus outdoor space for larger items.

Obleek rounds out the night with a raw, emotional mix of punk, grunge, and Midwest emo. The trio — Jon Marshall (bass), Jaxon Fjeldahl (guitar), and Teddy Joddoloh (drums) — trade off vocals while diving into themes of identity, addiction, and loss, all wrapped in danceable rhythms and hooky melodies.
