ASTORIA — A flea market on the outdoor film lot at Kaufman Astoria Studios will be back this summer for three nights in July with vendors peddling food, clothing and vintage goods, according to organizers.

The Astoria Flea & Food — from the same team that hosts the weekly LIC Flea & Food on the Hunters Point waterfront — will take place July 16, 23 and 30 from 7 p.m. to midnight, and will also feature a beer garden serving only brews made in Queens.

Other vendors at the market will include Jessy's Pastries, which makes Peruvian empanadas and other treats, hand printed T-shirts and tanks from Dutch Kills Klotheing and Jae NYC Eats, a company in Far Rockaway that makes artisanal Twinkies.

This is the third year for the Astoria Flea, which kicked off in 2013.

It's held on the back lot at Kaufman Astoria Studios — the city's only functioning outdoor film lot —  located on 36th Street between 34th and 35th avenues.

Editors Note: this story was updated July 7 to reflect changes Astoria Flea & Food made to its schedule. The market originally planned for July 9 is canceled due to weather forecasts.
