Tape Swap Radio returned to the Ice House in Bethlehem on Saturday, April 19 for the 2025 Lehigh Valley Punk Rock Flea Market. This was our fifth LVPRFM overall, and it was certainly our biggest. We broke our previous attendance record for LVPRFMs, with over 1,000 people stopping by the Ice House throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who attended who made this a rad event!
We also want to give a big thanks to our vendors. Huge amounts of creativity, artistry, and unique creations were on display, and we couldn’t be more blown away by the community. This year, over 50 vendors participated, which was also a new record for our LVPRFMs — helped in part by the new, expanded outside area.

After vendor sales ended, Tape Swap partnered with IceHouse Punk & DIY for a free, four-band punk show: World Breaker (Lehigh Valley hardcore), Pucker Up! (Scranton punk), My Messy Hands (Slatington punk), and Sin Bin (Lehigh Valley hardcore). Check out some photos from Ryan Susko from IceHouse Punk & DIY.
Also at the LVPRFM, we held a supply drive for Valley Youth House’s The Synergy Project Street Outreach Program, which offers assistance to runaway, homeless, nomadic, and street youth — including individuals on or around the outskirts of Sand Island in Bethlehem.
Valley Youth House’s Sarah Pammer has her car filled with items donated for homeless youth at the Lehigh Valley Punk Rock Flea Market.
The community certainly showed up, packing a car full of good-quality supplies. Donated items included: socks, bug spray, sunblock, flashlights with batteries, shelf-stable food, headphones/earbuds, Dove body wash, shampoo/conditioner, toothbrushes, deodorant, period products, and makeup.
Tape Swap Radio’s next Lehigh Valley Punk Rock Flea Market is scheduled for Saturday, September 6, 2025 at the Ice House. Keep an eye on our website and social media pages for updates on that event.
