First Monday Trade Days

This is my first experience in what I would call a regional flea market. We were told that once a month this market is open and it's equivalent to the type of market you experience in a festival in Houston, but a little larger. Having lived in Houston for many years I have seen festival market areas be of all sorts of sizes so I was not sure what to expect. Well now that we have been I'm not sure a festival market in Houston quite compares to what we found here. Perhaps closer to it is Traders Village, in terms of size, but the Houston Rodeo shops in terms of atmosphere. We happened to visit Easter weekend, and the crowd size was impressive. The market is really distributed over a huge area, with many parking lots available for $5, and all of the many parking areas get you close to some of the shopping, but if you can walk s mile or two, you can get to all of them. Different areas (blocks) have different types of shops, but there is certainly a shop for anything you could imagine you could buy. A very large pet and small livestock area (pups, goats, chickens, turkeys, peacocks, etc), outdoor furniture decorations, interior decorations, used stuff, new stuff, just lots and lots of stuff. Bathrooms are really available all around, as is food. For those who are not sure they can walk the several miles this could mean, there are showers scooters available for hourly rental (I think$8), but you may need to get in the waiting list.nnIf we do make plans to be in the area again, we will certainly reserve more time to explore more shops. We were there about 4hrs and made it through about 1/3 to 1/2 of the shopping areas.

The weekend preceding the first Monday of the month. Not much happening on Monday.

Very busy. Lots of people everywhere. The back lot wasn't so clean. On the main drag it was much nicer. Tons of people getting out. Not to mention anything you could imagine to purchase. You can easily spend tune weekend looking around. We'll be back again for sure

Beautiful chilly Sunday in Canton! Red velvet funnel cake was amazing. Fresh squeezed lemonade was also a hit. The grounds and buildings were super clean with great friendly vendors at each. No one tried to sell us anything unless we asked for prices. (VERY refreshing at a flea market this size) Highly recommended!

They are not following any mask protection and thousands of people are shoulder to shoulder shopping. Should not be open!
