If you're planning a trip this summer, why not add in a stop to one of these famous 'flea's' across the US! Here's a guide to some of the most famous antique and flea markets across the country.
1. Brooklyn Flea
Location: Brooklyn, New York
When: Saturday's from mid-April through Thanksgiving
Find this market amidst Brownstones in a school yard, and while it isn't the biggest, it has a wide appeal: artisan soaps, old books galore, typewriters, retro furniture and even a Rolls Royce wheel rim. But beware, if you aren't familiar with New York flea markets, they come with New York price tags!
2. Alameda Point Antique Faire
Location: Alameda, California
When: First Sunday of every month
If you can brave the wind from the San Francisco Bay, this market guarantees to have something for everyone, at any price. Reminiscent of a Parisian flea market, Alameda hosts over 800 booths on the first Sunday of the month, and many await these Sundays with religious fervor!
3. First Monday Trade Days
Location: Canton, Texas
When: One weekend each month
Fair food, Canton carts, and fields of thrifting, this market shows off Texas' trademark saying "everything's bigger in Texas!" Try to make it late spring or early summer because the August heat can really be a beating in Texas!
4. Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market
Location: Springfield, Ohio
When: One weekend each month
This market has become known as one of the best "buying" markets in the country. Specialty Shows and the Extravaganzas are for serious antique customers, come prepared to battle dealers from all over the world!
5. 127 Corridor Sale
