The Episcopal Actors’ Guild (EAG) announces its second annual Grand Bazaar scheduled for Friday, June 12th (2pm to 7pm) and Saturday, June 13th (11-7) at the landmarked Church of the Transfiguration (The Little Church) at 1 East 29th Street in Manhattan between Fifth and Madison Avenues. All funds go to EAG’s charitable efforts to aid performers in need. Since 1923, EAG has offered emergency financial assistance to NYC performers facing financial crisis. 100 years later, EAG’s membership and community host regular fundraising events, including this vibrant flea market in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

The event will take place in the Little Church’s historic courtyard and will feature unique pre-owned items for sale including upscale/designer/vintage clothing; theater costumes, books, and memorabilia; art books; fine and costume jewelry; unique decorative items; quality household items including serving pieces, glassware, silver, porcelain, and ceramics; and one-of-a-kind items of interest. Live music and a bake sale will also be a part of the event.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will move indoors to the landmarked Church building. 

Donated goods will be accepted on site:

• Tuesday, June 9, 11am-7pm
• Wednesday, June 10, 1:30pm-7pm
• Thursday, June 11, 11am-7pm

Tax donation receipts are available from the Episcopal Actors’ Guild, a 501( c)3 organization. Donors can contact [email protected] for more information.

“We hosted our first Bazaar in the spring of 2025, and the response was beyond our expectations,” said Karen Lehman Foster, EAG Executive Director. “The event was entirely volunteer-run, and so many generous donors came forward to offer us such extraordinary treasures. It was a memorable experience, and the best part was that it all came together to help actors in need.”
