We were blown away by the response to the 2026 Lehigh Valley Punk Rock Flea Market on April 18th. Tape Swap has been hosting this event since 2018, but this is the first time we saw over 1,200 people attend. This was one for the books.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the Ice House — and thank you to all the vendors, bands, and volunteers who participated for making the LVPRFM possible. Let's do it again soon!
