New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market Kicks Off "New Jersey 2025 World Tour" This Weekend In Trenton

originally published: 04/07/2025

(TRENTON, NJ) -- The East Coast's most electric underground shopping event is back and bigger than ever. Formerly known as the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, the newly rebranded New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market (NJPRFM) launches into its 13th year of punk-fueled chaos with the Spring Fling Edition on Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton.

The New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market is a one-of-a-kind shopping and cultural experience, blending a love of punk rock and alternative music with a celebration of independent artisans and small businesses, local foods, and more.

Founded and executive produced by Joseph Kuzemka, a veteran event organizer with over two decades of experience in music and cultural events, NJPRFM continues to thrive as the East Coast's most dynamic alt-festival.

Tickets available now at www.punkmarket.com

Attendees may also procure walk-up tickets at the Cure Arena Box Office, the weekend of the festival, with zero Ticketmaster fees.

And, this year, they’re throwing in a little chaotic charm with a $5 photo op with the Crummy Easter Bunny, a delightfully dreadful take on spring tradition. All proceeds from the photo op (along with a matching donation by the NJPRFM) will benefit Punk Rock Saves Lives, a nonprofit that travels the country to alternative events, registering people for the bone marrow donor registry and promoting life-saving community outreach.

The Spring Fling marks the first stop on NJPRFM’s “2025 New Jersey World Tour” with more dates coming soon including:

* Summa' Sizzla' Summer Expo – Saturday, July 26, 2025

* Wreck the Halls Holiday Expo – Saturday & Sunday, December 13-14, 2025

Founded in Trenton, NJ in 2013, The New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market has grown into a North Eastern United States institution that hosts events year-round, attracting tens of thousands of visitors annually who share a passion for DIY creativity, the arts, music, food with an injection of punk rock spirit.
