The 32nd Annual Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction, held in and around Shubert Alley, will now take place September 30, instead of the previously announced September 23.
The event historically takes place on the third Sunday each September; this year's change is due to activities scheduled for the UN General Assembly.
The day-long event allows fans to purchase theatrical memorabilia and bid on one-of-a-kind show props, tickets to opening-night performances, autographed musical phrases, and more. Shows participating in the Flea Market, items to be offered in the Grand Auction, and stars set to appear at the autograph table and photo booth will be announced at a later date.
Last year’s Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction raised a record-breaking $1,023,309. Since 1987, the 31 editions of this annual event have raised $13.6 million.
The Flea Market benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, one of the nation’s leading industry-based, non-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has raised more than $300 million SINCE 1988 for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
