About Us — Mission & Experience

The Great NYS Flea was born as a grassroots initiative to elevate local culture and give small business owners an accessible platform to thrive.

We believe in community first — keeping events affordable, welcoming, and reflective of Rochester’s diverse voices and talents. Whether it’s your first market or your fifteenth, this is where ideas find life, stories are shared, and commerce feels human.

Our focus is not just selling — it’s elevating culture, encouraging creativity, and strengthening community.
