On the third Sunday of each month from June to October, the scenic and historic Ashbridge Estate is home to the Leslieville Flea Market, with more than 50 vendors offering a variety of thrift, artisan, upcycled and salvaged goods—from furniture to clothing. If you happen to miss the third Sunday at the Ashbridge Estate, you can also find the Leslieville Flea during the same hours at the Harbourfront Centre on the first Sunday of the month. They also have “pop-up fleas” in the Distillery District during the summer, which is also their indoor winter location.
