(Friendship, Ind.) – It has been announced that the 54th annual Friendship Flea Market will be returning for the Fall Show September 12 through 20.

The Ripley County Health Department has approved the dates for the 2020 Fall Show.

A great deal of responsibility comes with hosting this large event not just from the vendors but the attendees as well. It is requested that vendors and attendees stay home if you are feeling sick, recently traveled to a “hot spot” area, or have been in contact with someone who has been confirmed positive for COVID-19.

Additionally, wearing a mask, social distancing, and washing your hands frequently are strongly encouraged.

While it is crucial to follow the guidelines put into place to keep all attendees and vendors safe and healthy, the Friendship Flea Market will continue to be a place to watch the past come to life.

Throughout the week, visitors will be able to experience almost 500 vendor spaces selling a wide array of merchandise and food. The Flea Market will be open for business every day beginning at 9:00 a.m.

On Friday and Saturday nights, live music will be available for visitors beginning at 7:00 p.m.

The performers are as follows:

Friday, September 11: The Renegades

Saturday, September 12: Linda Smith Band

Friday, September 18: Jason Wells Band

Saturday, September 19: Bourbon Road Band

A horse-drawn trolley will be available each day to take visitors to and from town.

Admission is free, but there is a $3 fee for parking. Vendor and camping space is still available.
