We just heard from Brownstoner that the Brooklyn Flea is taking over the former bank at Skylight One Hanson, the new event space in the Williamsburgh Savings Bank. Here are the details from the press release:
The Flea at One Hanson will take place for 12 weekends only, from January 9+10 through March 27+28. The market will be open from 10am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday. Starting April 3+4, the Flea returns to its outdoor locations, through November: Saturdays in Fort Greene and Sundays in DUMBO. With 100 vendors taking over teller windows, banking kiosks, secret rooms, and even the former vault in the landmark space—which features 63-foot ceilings, giant stained-glass windows, gorgeous tile mosaics, ornate Art Deco details, even a “whisper wall”—the Flea is presenting dozens of small businesses in a former monument to commerce, while also opening up this historic space to the public. The location above 10 subway lines and the LIRR provides easy access for visitors from across the region, and the majestic setting is an attraction unto itself.
