Midwest USA Flea Markets

[Craig Phillips / B & C Emporium]

Probly the best know is the Shipshewanna, Indiana, flea market and auction mostly new stuff in the flea, and never know what in the auction, this is right in the heart of Amish country. Usually for me shipshe is a nice day off, to tour and do the rounds, touristing, and see what is selling in the crafts and quilts, good chicken dinner, and good baked goods. tuesday and wednesday flea, auction wednesday. in the reasonable weather I think March thru Nov ?

The next one I like and have been to for about 27 years is the Kane County Flea Market, in St Charles Ill, really is an antique flea market, so any thing is possible, I have bought tons out of there for years, as well as sold the locals some of our products. It is a once a month flea, on the first sunday of the month with the saturday before, March thru Dec.

and lots of little local fleas that somedays (most) you spend more for breakfast than on stuff. but alas it is good exercise walking around the grounds.

Lots of other outside antique shows ( some call flea markets) thru out the midwest rate a nod.

Allegan, Michigan last sunday of the month April thru Sept.

Elkhorn, Wisconsin, I belive is the 3rd sunday,April thru Sept

Ann Arbor, Michigan, 3rd sunday March thru October.

Springfield, Ohio, 3rd sunday, plus a couple of 2 day extravaganzes a year, I think year round

The best is Rogers , Ohio!! my favorite place on earth, a Disneyland for adults.

I have bought and/or set up at all of these. Trader Jacks is a picking/buying paradise mainly but all of the rest are good selling venues as well as a shoppers market if you go early and stay late.
