The Alee Shrine Temple on Eisenberg Drive is not the kind of place you would expect to find a table of taxidermied squirrels sitting beside a crate of dubbed horror VHS tapes. But on the weekend of October 10 and 11, the temple's hall will fill with exactly that kind of inventory, when the Southeast Punk Flea Market rolls into Savannah for a two-day run of vinyl records, vintage clothes, comic books, retro video games, handmade jewelry and the general category its organizers cheerfully label "oddities."
The event runs 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $10 at the door, good for both days, with kids 12 and under free. There are no pre-sales; you pay on entry. Vendors take cash, most take cards, and the whole thing is all ages. Because it lands in October, costumes are encouraged. Pets, however, are not allowed inside, a restriction that comes from the venue rather than the organizers.
What SEPFM sells is less a product category than a sensibility. The organization's own description says it focuses on "underground art, alternative fashion and anything that surrounds the culture," giving like-minded people a place to showcase their creations and, in its words, "hopefully make a little extra money selling their goods." It frames itself explicitly against the mainstream: "SouthEast PFM is for the folks that are looking for a little something different than what you may find on 'Main Street.'"
That difference shows up in the vendor list. A typical market mixes vintage clothing and vinyl records with cassettes and CDs, toys, original art, taxidermy, handmade jewelry, retro video games, comic books, VHS tapes, horror and B-movie memorabilia, and the catch-all category of oddities. The series is a regular fixture across the region, with a 2026 stop in Columbia, South Carolina among others. Savannah's October weekend sits in the middle of that run.
The flea market also functions as a low-stakes entry point for people who make things but have never tried to sell them. The all-ages policy means the crowd skews younger than a typical antique show, and the organizers note that kids tend to enjoy it, though they add a caveat that some vendors carry items parents may find offensive, so discretion is advised. The events are wheelchair and stroller friendly.
For Savannah, the October weekend is a chance to see a subculture's shopping habits in their natural habitat: a Shriners hall converted, for two days, into a room full of people who care more about a rare VHS sleeve or a mounted raccoon than about matching a decor scheme. It is, by design, a little strange. That is the point. The doors open at 11 both mornings, and the $10 ticket covers both days, so a Saturday browse can turn into a Sunday return without paying twice. Costumes welcome, pets not, and cash is still the safest thing to bring.
