Today The Daily News reports that a flea market is planned for Coney Island this year that’s claiming it will be New York’s biggest such market. While details about the venture are scant—its organizers wouldn’t answer a reporter’s questions, so it’s unclear, for example, where in Coney it would be set up—the event is being organized by management from the former Aqueduct Flea Market in South Ozone Park, which has been displaced from the Aqueduct’s parking lot. The flea market is going by the name “BK Festival,” and a teaser website for it says it will have a “festival style” and have a “free shuttle bus” for tourists. In other Coney Island news, The Eagle notes that the Wonder Wheel will open in mid-April.

How about setting up “Shoot the Shopper”?
I was glad to see Shoot the Freak go. But this shopping mall with tourist buses depresses me.
Sparafucile;
Amen to that. For the life of me, I don’t understand how so many vacation spots have been turned into malls.
actually spar, neither do i anymore really.

I have never understood the appeal of recreational shopping. Oh well, to each his own.
wasnt the last big flea market in coney island an epic fail? as in they pretty much had no vendors or something? hopefully this will work and hopefully it will be a REAL flea market and not a fart sniffing uber expensive arts craft fair, not a big fan of those.. i like finding actual junk at flea markets!! not 50 dollar bars of breast milk soap.
