What are we? 

The Fruit Flea Market is now The Nine Lives Flea Market.  A DIY flea market and cultural gathering which occurs up to six times per year and features a carefully curated collection of more than 40 unique local(ish) vendors that sell everything from ceramic goodies, vintage clothing & retro games, original artwork, vinyl & cassettes, oddities, taxidermy, artisan jewelry, curiosities, antiques, herbal remedies, & much much more. This event is pet and well behaved child friendly.

(Our NSFW markets are 18+)

What to expect

Each FF market is an mostly indoor experience, with a small amount of porch space, weather permitting. Other goodies to expect include a live set from DJ Lava Lamp, spinning beats at a beautifully moderate volume, a rotating list of food trucks, local coffee and croissant providers Whisk & Rye to keep you caffeinated, take a load off and enjoy vintage movies and cartoons playing on the big screen in the theater, each market incluedes an ever-changing themed photo booth courtesy of photographer Jess Crugar, and last but certainly not least fabulous cocktails + mocktails from The Cats Cradle bar staff.

WHAT IS "The cats
Cradle"? 

​​​​

Located less than a mile from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill campus in downtown Carrboro, the Cat’s Cradle has been the Triangle’s premier live music venue for over 50 years.

Having hosted bands as diverse as Nirvana, Public Enemy, John Mayer, Joan Baez, and Iggy Pop, the Cat’s Cradle has become a must-stop venue for premier music acts over the past several decades. With a capacity of 750 people, the Cat’s Cradle allows concert-goers a chance to see established and up-and-coming bands alike in an intimate setting.
