Flea Market

A flea market is a market where used or handmade items are offered for sale.

How does it work?

  • If you want to organize a flea market in a building, you must apply for a flea market permit.
  • If you want to organize an outdoor flea market (in a public space), you must apply for an event permit.

What should I do?

You must apply for the permit from the municipality. Please include the following information with your application:

  • where you want to hold the flea market
  • date of the flea market
  • What time does the flea market start and end?
  • the type of flea market and its size (such as the number of stalls)
  • whether traffic measures are necessary

If you wish to play music and/or sell alcoholic beverages at the market, you must apply for a separate permit or exemption.
