Flea in the Fort will return to Tower Park on Sunday, June 7, kicking off its sixth season of celebrating local makers, artists, and crafters from across Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati region.
The free outdoor handmade artisan craft show will take place under the tree canopy next to the Fort Thomas Mess Hall, located at 801 Cochran Avenue, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Launched in 2021 as a way to support and spotlight local artisans, Flea in the Fort has grown into an event with more than 100 different makers participating throughout the 2026 season. The show features three events each year on the first Sundays of June, August, and October. This year’s dates include June 7, August 2, and October 4.
Visitors can expect a day filled with handmade goods, live music, food trucks, and a pet-friendly atmosphere, making it a perfect outing for families, friends, and art lovers alike.
The event is made possible by a volunteer committee that helps curate the vendor lineup and manage operations to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both makers and visitors.
“Creating events where people from all over the region can connect, shop from talented, local vendors, and spend a beautiful day in the park is what the Flea is all about,” said Savannah Krift, Ft. Thomas city administrative assistant.
Those interested in joining the waitlist as a vendor can contact Krift directly at skrift@ftthomas.org or call 859-572-1209 for more information.
