The Denver Flea is back, and that means thousands of Denverites will spend their weekend eating, drinking, and perusing the 160-plus Colorado-focused vendor offerings at this indoor-outdoor spring block party.

But this season’s Flea is extra special as it coincides with the launch of RTD’s new Train to the Plane. The new A line will conveniently drop you at 38th Avenue and Blake Street, meaning you’ll be right next to the festivities. And, in honor of the grand opening, the train is running for free on Saturday. While the new transportation option is sure to solve some parking woes, it’s also a convenient excuse to partake in one of the Spring Flea’s best offerings: booze.

For the $5 entry fee, you’ll receive a complimentary brew or cocktail, redeemable for a New Belgium beer, a Moscow mule, margarita, or anything from the Stranahan’s speakeasy. Pair the libations with eats from the likes of La Chiva and Sunshine Bowls and goods from Rare Finds Warehouse and Deny Designs, and you’ve got a great way to spend the weekend.


April 23 and 24, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Exdo Event Center (1399 35th St.). Purchase tickets here.
