JACKSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. – The New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market (NJPRFM) is bringing its loud, weird, and wildly creative holiday spirit back to Ocean County this month with its annual “Wreck the Halls” alt-shopping experience and arts festival.
The two-day event kicks off December 13–14 at The Dome at Adventure Crossing, located just minutes from Six Flags Great Adventure, and promises hundreds of vendors, live music, and the kind of unconventional holiday cheer that has made the market a statewide staple.
Organizers describe it as a massive showcase for “DIY makers, artists, punks, weirdos, and small biz legends” selling everything from handmade art and retro collectibles to spooky holiday gifts and oddball fashion.
A holiday market with a punk rock twist
Billed as an antidote to traditional mall shopping, the NJ Punk Rock Flea Market features an eclectic mix of vendors and experiences, including tattooing, piercing, live performances, photo ops, and appearances by special guests.
The event’s organizers encourage attendees to “shop small, shop weird, shop local,” spotlighting independent creators across New Jersey’s art and music scenes.
“Basically, everything your local mall doesn’t have,” organizers said in a post promoting the event.
New venue, same DIY energy
After a packed summer show earlier this year, the winter edition moves to a larger space at The Dome, offering more room for both vendors and visitors. The event runs both days with live entertainment and seasonal attractions designed to “wreck the halls” in true punk fashion.
Advance tickets are available now at www.punkmarket.com, with $5 savings for early buyers. Vendor applications remain open for artists and small businesses interested in joining the lineup.
The New Jersey Punk Rock Flea Market returns December 13–14 in Jackson for its annual Wreck the Halls holiday event featuring art, music, and alternative shopping at The Dome at Adventure Crossing.
