Bargains and Treasures: Summer 2021 Flea Markets

Grab your sunscreen, canvas totes and floppy hats. Summer flea markets are back! We have put together a list of the top markets. Remember these Kovels’ tips: Wear good walking shoes, bring an umbrella just-in-case, and pack water and snacks. Cash is always a good idea. It helps with bargaining and you never know when WiFi for credit cards may fail. As always, check websites before making plans to make sure the markets are not cancelled or postponed. Markets are listed by opening dates — the earliest ones are listed first, etc.

If your favorite summer flea market is not on our list, please let us know in the comments so we can share the information with our readers.
