Rose Bowl Flea Market

Once a month, the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, trades in football cleats for flea market finds.

Brimfield Antique Market

Massachusetts is the home to the Brimfield Antique Market, which is open three times a year for customers to check out different vendors.

Brimfield was started in 1959 and now includes thousands of dealers to check out when you visit to find your treasures.

The fields around Brimfield where the show is held are privately owned, so it’s important to check ahead of time to reserve your spot if you’re a vendor.

The Nashville Flea Market is open on the fourth weekend of every month at The Fairgrounds, except the third weekend in December to celebrate the holidays.

Junk Bonanza

The Junk Bonanza in Shakopee, Minnesota, is the place to shop if you want to find something that needs a second life.

Scott Antique Markets

The Scott Antique Markets has two locations in Atlanta or Columbus, but you may want to try the original in Atlanta first.

The market started 30 years ago and has four generations of the Scott family working to get the best antiques and unique finds to customers once a month.

Brooklyn Flea

New York residents may want to try Brooklyn Flea under the DUMBO Archway in the neighborhood with the same name.

The flea market is every Saturday and Sunday and includes a full bar so you can grab a drink while you check out different finds from a wide array of vendors.

Georgetown Flea Market

Down the East Coast is the Georgetown Flea Market in Washington, D.C.

The flea market is open every Sunday with exceptions for weather. It’s so popular that it even inspired the novel Cadillac Jack by Larry McMurtry, who owned a bookshop in Georgetown.

Mile High Flea Market

The Mile High Flea Market in Denver, CO, is every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, making it a little less exclusive than some flea markets in the U.S.

But the extra days give shoppers more time to look for special sales. It also gives everyday vendors the ability to show off their wares.

Bottom line

Flea markets can be a unique option if you’re trying to get ahead financially by reducing your spending.

The markets allow you to still get items with extra character or special vibes without paying excessive amounts.

But it’s still a good idea to go in with an estimated budget so you don’t overspend on too many distinctive finds.
