F.A.Q.
What is Kentucky Punk Rock Flea Market, anyway? Kentucky Punk Rock Flea Market (KYPRFM) is a one day, all ages market and music fest showcasing weird arts and crafts. There is live music all day (punk/hardcore and their subgenres), food, friends and fun! Check out our gallery to get an idea of the kind of stuff you might find if you come hang out with us! We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all the little weirdos to be themselves.
Can we bring our pets? At this venue, YES! As long as they are socialized and won't be a danger to anyone else. It should go without saying that you are responsible for cleaning up after them, too.
Will there be alcohol? Yes. Alcohol will be present. Which means if you plan to drink, you need to bring your ID. Security is also present, and will remove anyone who does not handle their alcohol well.
Is the venue handicap accessible? For the most part, yes! This was a top concern for us when we were picking a new venue. We are stretched out across the entirety of the Clarion's convention center, and intend to also be outside just like in 2025. There are handicap parking spaces close to all entries and obviously will not be blocked or taken up by anyone without a placard. We are working on some layout changes so that there aren't any long walks or barriers such as hills for folks who use mobility devices. We're doing the best we can and will always consider EVERYONE!
How does someone apply to be a vendor? KYPRFM is a once a year event and we have decided to open up applications after the first of the year and leave them open for about four months before sending out approval emails. You're required to have photos of what you make or sell. YOUR stuff only. No stock photos or examples. And if you have any, photos of your set ups at previous events. It isn't mandatory, but it is helpful if you have a social media account or a website. Check out the "vendor hub" tab for more information!
If my band is interested, how do we apply? We've decided not to do band applications, because it can be a bit hectic. Just follow our socials. We'll see ya! We do try to stick to local and regional bands, unless for some reason a tour package we're super interested in comes through. We don't start reaching out to bands until spring.
