The Monthly Extravaganza of the Summer, the Downtown Flea, is back this Saturday (August 17) at the Canton Cultural Center for the Arts. From 10am to 3pm, you can shop over 70 local vendors. Stop in for brilliant handmade and vintage items as well as delicious food vendors.

The event itself is FREE and you can easily find parking on side streets nearby or downtown at meters or local parking lots. Parking at the Cultural Center is $6.

To help you limber up for walking around the Flea, you can stop in at 9am for FREE YOGA with 6^th Street Yoga in the grass around the Center.

From 11am to 2pm, enjoy the musical stylings of Steve Farley and Patrick Masalko as well as FREE kids' face painting. While the kids are getting their faces painted, their parents can check out the indoor Flea Bar.

After the event, stop in at George's Lounge for the Official After-Party Burger Bar. The Flea Welcome Table will have a special discount coupon so you can pick up succulent burgers and craft cocktails at George's.

With apologies to Billy Mays (RIP), BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

From 8am to 11am, you can stop at the Canton Farmer's Market at 4^th and McKinley in the Timken parking lot. Stop in for local items from over 15 vendors, including produce, meats and even dog treats!
