The annual Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction, produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares, will be held in the heart of New York City’s theatre district September 22 from 10 AM–7 PM.
Theatrical memorabilia from Broadway and Off-Broadway shows as well as treasures from theatre owners and
producing organizations, unions, guilds, marketing groups, ticket
agencies, concessionaires, and fan clubs will line West 44th and West
45th Streets.
The day-long event will also feature a silent auction in Shubert Alley and the live grand auction in the Times Square pedestrian plaza between 45th and 46th Streets.
Details for the 38th edition of the event, including participating tables and auction lots, will be announced after Labor Day.
The Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction had its humble beginnings when cast members of the original A Chorus Line set up two tables outside their stage door in Shubert Alley. Last year’s fundraiser brought in a record-breaking $1,237,179. Since 1987, the 37 editions of the event have raised more than $18.7 million.
Broadway Cares is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 Broadway Cares has raised more than $300 million for essential services for people with HIV/AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
