Soak up all the RE’s at the ultimate SUMMER event. REuse, REpair, and REpurposing are in high style for the season of sun.
Our junky jamboree features artisans who transform reclaimed materials into one-of-a-kind goods. Shop for home goods, art, garden accessories, fashion, body care, stuff you've never seen before… and more.
For this special edition, we are stuffing as many RE's into your experience as possible.

Working Bikes' mechanics will spruce up your wheels for summer joy-riding.
