CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Eastland's open-air market is expected to reopen this weekend.

The market is set to open Saturday morning on Galleria Boulevard. This comes after the city closed its previous location.

The city initially said a new location wasn't possible. A temporary location was found for the market in early July

The owner of the land is donating the site but vendors will still pay a $10 rental fee.

 "I feel really grateful for being able to start selling again, in this new place, after so long since our flea market closed on Central Ave," Central Market vendor, Iginia Rojas, said. "We have been working hard for a new location and are now reaping the fruits of our labor. I am very excited to see this new space succeed like our old place."

The market will officially open at 1720 Galleria Blvd at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19. Gates will be open for vendor setup starting at 6 a.m. that morning. The market will remain open until 6 p.m. Sunday evening and is planned to operate every weekend on Saturdays and Sundays moving forward.
