Aurora welcomes Louche Puce Market

Submitted by Louche Puce Market

Second Saturdays will be filled with collectibles, vintage treasures, retro items and antiques this summer on Water Street Mall in downtown Aurora.

The first of its kind, Aurora’s Louche Puce Market (pronounced loosh pyoose) brings a juried offering of furniture, glassware, ephemera, architectural salvage, costume jewelry, vinyl records, books, vintage fashions, objets d’art and objects of curiosity.

A festive community event, Louche Puce takes place on Water Street Mall, a tree-lined alley between Downer and Galena, the second Saturdays of the summer months, June 11, July 9, Aug. 13 and Sept. 10. Sales run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The inaugural market Saturday, June 11, will be held in conjunction with the Aurora Green Fest, the Aurora Farmers Market and the Aurora Paddlesports Festival. A shuttle will run between all four events.

Experienced or novice vendors with an eclectic inventory of items are invited to apply for a sales space. Contact organizer Jeanne Norris at (630) 844-3224 or email norrisjeanne@gmail.com.
