Three times a year, antique enthusiasts flock to Brimfield, Massachusetts, for the famous Brimfield Antique Flea Markets.
Explore over 20 fields filled with treasures from May, July, and September.
Brimfield is an adventure! Meet people from around the world, enjoy food, music, and the thrill of finding hidden gems among the vendors' tents.
Don't be shy! Dealers are friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere with gypsy tents, RVs, and on-site vendors.
You never know what you will find," says veteran dealer Armineh Stepanians. The thrill of finding a valuable piece keeps treasure hunters coming back year after year.
Each of the 20 fields is independently owned and operated. Plan your visit carefully as some fields may only be open for a few days.
Dealers come from New England, across the U.S., Canada, and even Europe. Collect contact information from favorite vendors as they may only sell at Brimfield.
For specific items, shop on opening day. Arrive early as many dealers set up by 6 a.m. to get the first pick.
Bargain hunters, shop on Sunday! Dealers often reduce prices to avoid packing up large items. Bring cash for better bargaining.
While some dealers accept credit cards, many prefer cash. ATMs are available but come prepared with a budget to avoid overspending.
Choose parking near Route 20 for convenience. It's $10, but worth it to save your feet for a day of exploring. Wear comfortable shoes!
