Down in Texas, a not-to-be-missed flea market takes place once a month under the humble name of Fredericksburg Trade Days. The setting of this market is humble, but the goal is not to impress with a fancy setting, but to blow your mind with the goods available for purchase and the atmosphere created by all the stallholders, vendors, organizers and attendees. You don't have to look stylish to fit in; in fact, the more comfortable your shoes, the better, because you'll be walking a lot to make sure you don't miss anything at this market.
Although the setting is simple, the infrastructure of the Fredericksburg Trade Days provides more than enough space for everyone. There are seven large barns, a collection of smaller sheds, tents and other buildings along the stretch of Highway 290 between Fredericksburg and Stonewall, easy to find with plenty of parking. Visitors can expect more than 350 vendors to entertain them, and with only a small $5 admission/parking fee, there is no reason not to stop by and fill a day with fun.
Fredericksburg Trade Days encourages all types of vendors, no matter what their specialty. The booths literally have a little bit of everything. Expect to see antiques, collectibles, indoor and outdoor plants, vintage tools, crafts, shabby chic, primitives, ranch furniture, hunting accessories, crystal housewares, vinyl records, vintage bottles, vintage wedding cake toppers, dozens of painted signs, and a wide variety of other secondhand items and curiosities. There are also some fantastic vintage clothing booths and some beautiful jewelry to be found.
There is plenty of delicious food to be found at the Fredericksburg Trade Days, ranging from classic Texas fare to more European treats, and this flea market could be worth a visit just for the food! And with its proximity to the Pedernales River, wineries, and lavender trails, a trip to Fredericksburg Trade Days makes for a fantastic family outing. One last piece of advice - stick to a budget here, as it is too easy to splurge!
