Upcoming Events

  • Annual Flea Market- Canceled Spring 2026

    Every spring, the SIU Civil Service Council hosts an Annual Flea Market to benefit the Education Assistance Fund for scholarships to be issued to eligible dependents of SIU Civil Service employees who attend SIU. The flea market is held at the SIU Arena parking lot on the last Saturday in April or the first Saturday in May. It offers shoppers the opportunity to find those unique items for themselves or even that person who is difficult to buy for.

    The 2026 Annual Flea Market, originally scheduled for April 18, has been canceled. We look forward to seeing you at future events supporting the Education Assistance Fund.
