Parisian Flea Market to Benefit Fair Haven in Carmel, Oct. 7 and 8

Fair Haven will hold their largest annual fundraiser, the Parisian Flea Market (PFM) at Clay Terrace in Carmel on Oct. 7 and Oct. 8. The tenth annual Parisian Flea Market is a one-of-a-kind shopping event inspired by the eclectic flea markets of Paris that attract treasure hunters from all over the world.

It features a unique collection of upscale and hand-selected items including home accessories, furniture, mirrors, chandeliers, dishware, estate jewelry, art and gift items. Volunteer designers from Luminaut|Rowland will use their talents to transform the space into a shoppers’ paradise.

Fair Haven hosts PFM annually to support its program to provide a “home away from home” for seriously ill patients and their families who travel to Indianapolis to receive treatment for cancer, high-risk pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, organ transplant, and more. More than 150 volunteers work together to make the market a success and introduce Fair Haven’s mission to the community.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door, or online. Children 16 and under get in for free.
