Flat Rock has several ties to the automotive industry and car enthusiasts. In addition to being home to a Ford assembly plant, the city is also home to the Flat Rock Speedway. The speedway may be the site of many races, but it also offers thrill-seekers a different kind of thrill, as the track serves as the setting for one of Michigan's most exciting flea markets: the Flat Rock Speedway Flea Market.
Hosted by the Flat Rock Historical Society, the semi-annual Flat Rock Speedway Flea Market is literally on the track and is open rain or shine. The society runs the market in May and October, and it's one of the busiest flea markets in Michigan, attracting more than 10,000 shoppers each year. When the weather is nice, the Flat Rock Speedway Flea Market is a great way to spend the day searching for new treasures.
On market days, the Speedway is packed with antique dealers, each with their tables full of wares. There's also an overflow area with even more vendors, so get there early. The merchandise at the Flat Rock Speedway Flea Market is diverse, with items including car collectibles, glassware, vintage clothing, coins, paintings, advertising collectibles and more. On average, flea market enthusiasts can expect to see 200 to 300 dealers at this event.
Prices at the Flat Rock Speedway Flea Market are fair and most vendors will negotiate, so don't be afraid to haggle for that one item you just have to have. Wagons or carts are encouraged so you can easily carry your purchases to your car, and it makes it easier to get up and down the track to see all the vendors.
Admission to the Flat Rock Historical Society Flea Market is free, and while you're there you can grab a snack or drink from one of the on-site concession stands. The Flat Rock Historical Flea Market also has clean indoor restrooms and plenty of parking.
