Vintage is like Madonna – it never truly gets old. And whether you’ve got a soft spot for antique treasures, old jewellery, or vintage clothes, you can find something that suits your fancy at this pop-up market in the East.

Its wide array of indoor and outdoor stalls takes over Katong Square on the first weekend of every month. Really, it’s a wonder that this has largely remained a hidden gem, with only about 4,000+ IG followers in the know.

As with all flea markets, no two visits are ever the same. Expect a different set of vendors present every weekend. Clothes, collectables, and old cameras have been spotted during past events so there are plenty of trinkets to browse and fiddle with each time you come by.
