Cary’s only monthly vintage market is back on Saturday, February 14, and it’s taking over the West End Biergarten between Vicious Fishes Brewery and South Line Brewing Company. Expect racks of men’s and women’s vintage, jewelry, records, housewares, permanent jewelry, live music, coffee, craft drinks, a food truck—and adoptable pups from All Good Dogs Rescue. Family-friendly, dog-friendly, and dangerously easy to spend hours at.
Not sponsored—we’re just emotionally invested in good vintage and very good dogs. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
