The Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market began in 1976. In those early days, vendors set up on the lawn in front of the 19th-century Victorian house facing Route 7. And in 1976, the presence of fifteen vendors was considered a "big" day.
More than four decades later, this local secret fills a 55-acre field and has become a beloved New England tradition for people seeking a truly authentic experience. No wonder the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market bills itself as New England's largest weekly flea market.
Typical Sundays at the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market feature over 500 vendors selling treasures galore, furniture, collectibles, vintage toys, crystal items, crockery, silverware, clothing and much much more. And let's not forget the ever-changing mixture of food trucks from all over the East Coast offering a wide variety of local delicacies, from homemade soups to mini donuts!
No two weekends at the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market are the same. There is always a different mix of vendors, merchandise, and food. Anyone is welcome to participate as a buyer or seller, which is what makes this non-exclusive marketplace so unique. You never know what kind of treasures are waiting for you!
The Elephant's Trunk Flea Market uses a smart pricing strategy to accommodate buyers at all price points. For example, the $40 Super Early Buyer's Admission allows you to enter the flea market between 4:45 a.m. and 5:44 a.m. and presumably offers a better selection of goods to buy. The $20 Early Buyer's Admission allows entry to the flea market from 5:45 a.m. to 6:59 a.m. Last but not least, late-day entry is inexpensive ($2 Regular Buyer's Admission allows entry from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), or free between 2:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Awareness of the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market has grown significantly over the past few years as it has been featured on several seasons of Flea Market Flip™. People realize they have things they want to sell, projects they want to make, and collections they need to add to. This flea market seems to meet all their needs and is just a fascinating experience.
If you're driving and the market times coincide, take the opportunity to visit the Stormville flea market, which is only a 30-minute drive away. Be sure to check the dates for the Stormville flea market as it is only held six times a year.
