Here’s what we’ve got for you guys this time around… Friday in particular is PACKED.
Marjon’s tips:
February 27 & 28 ► Antiques Market at AGRA
Every last weekend of the month the Agra Grounds transform into a giant second hand market, both indoor & outdoor. You’ll find furniture, household items, books, reclaimed (industrial) materials, DDR memorabilia etc. The market is very popular and attracts visitors from all over Saxony and beyond. Warning: may cause traffic jams, so consider cycling there or taking a tram. More info
February 28 ► Kawi Kids Flea Market – Kawi Kids Kinder Flohmarkt
Second-hand market, held several times a year, for every thinkable child-related item, like clothes, toys, strollers, books, bikes etcetera. At the indoor baby/toddler playground Kawi Kids in Südvorstadt, at August-Bebel-Straβe 9. More info (in German)

February 26 ► Fly By LIVE at Poniatowski
Leipzig’s hub for Polish cuisine, vodka and arts & culture continues its tradition of supporting blossoming talents – and this time it features someone with a voice described as “full of blues & soul… somewhere between Cheryl Crow and Pink, but unmistakable.” More info
February 26 ► #FUNkyFRIdayz Launch Party (REMINDER!)
The Leipzig Glocal has a new column where DJ Buti gives us mixes from Leipzig-based talent – and what better way to officially launch it than have a hip-hop party with DJs and nice food? Hope to see you there! More info
