In search of something thrilling to do this Sunday, whether you're flying solo, hitting the town with friends, or even bringing your significant other along for the ride? If you're looking for something fun to do this Sunday, be sure to check out the Georgetown Flea Market! You'll find the flea market right by Hardy Middle School, just off Wisconsin Avenue and south of Whitehaven Parkway.
The Georgetown Flea Market, or G-Town Flea as it's affectionately known, is a hidden gem right in the heart of Georgetown. It's not as big as the urban flea markets in European cities like London or Paris, but it's a regular spot for lots of well-known people in the Washington, D.C. area, including diplomats, politicians, and even Supreme Court justices on their days off.
The Georgetown Flea Market was once considered one of the best flea markets in the country. It was started back in 1972 by Michael Sussman. The market has a great mix of regular and one-off vendors selling local, national, and international products. There's always something new to discover each week! If you're into vintage art, classic clothing, or antique items, or if you're looking for jewelry, rugs, pottery, photography, or books, the Georgetown Flea Market has something for you!
One of the best things about the G-Town Flea is the variety of people you'll find there, as well as the range of items on sale. There's a great selection of antiques, collectibles, art, furniture, jewelry, and decorative arts, plus lots of other items. You'll also find vintage toys, dolls, and art pottery. Plus, you can find farm-fresh produce and artisan foods at the market, which has an eco-friendly platform. Also, haggling is generally welcome at the Georgetown Flea Market. The tradition of flea markets is alive and well in G-Town, and visitors are encouraged to try negotiating for the best price.
One of the most important things to know before you go to the flea market is that while some vendors accept payment via cards or contactless methods like CashApp or Venmo, 100% of the vendors accept cash. Just a heads-up: You should come prepared with a set amount of cash that you plan to spend. Or, find the closest ATM when you find a vendor you'd like to buy from that doesn't accept card or app-based payment.
Since the market is mostly outdoors, weather can affect how many vendors are open. During bad weather like heavy rain or snow, there probably won't be much going on. That said, once the weather clears up and it's safe for vendors to set up without getting rained on or snowed under, there'll be plenty of stalls ready and waiting to show off their wares, so it's definitely worth checking out!
All in all, a visit to the Georgetown Flea Market is a great way to spend a weekend day. There's something for everyone, whether you're a collector, an art lover, a foodie, or just looking for a fun day out. The G-Town Flea is a must-visit destination.

Still don’t like the price? maybe your too cheap. There’s yard sales and baby crap in woodbridge for you. This flea market still exists because the prices ARE good and there several fair, high quality dealers who arrive every single Sunday.
