The origins of Junkstock Omaha could not be more grassroots. Founded by a woman with an incredible passion for secondhand goods, Junkstock was born out of a lack of local events for thrift and secondhand enthusiasts. This gap in the market was first filled by a rented chicken coop, then a small storefront, and as of 2012, the outfit it is today.
In the early days, Junkstock Omaha had just 29 vendors, but it quickly became a pilgrimage for junk, vintage and handmade enthusiasts from all over the country. It quickly grew in size, and now Junkstock Omaha hosts 200 vendors and will likely continue to grow! However, it is still true to its roots, still a locally owned small business, and still retains a true passion for all things used, repurposed, and reimagined. Junkstock Omaha only sets up a few times a year, so be sure to mark the dates on your calendar so you don't miss out.
Junkstock Omaha is proud of its heritage, stating that its roots are peace, love and, of course, junk. There is a real sense of community that surrounds this flea market, and shopping here can feel like a social gathering of old friends. It is a great place to get inspiration for home decor and chat with like-minded people for more ideas. It never ceases to amaze me what you can make out of things that to the uninitiated would be considered 'junk'!
There's so much more to Junkstock Omaha than just the junk - it's also a music and food festival of sorts, so be sure to get tickets for the whole weekend whenever it's on. Bring the family, book some lodging, and enjoy all that is on offer - visitors are guaranteed a great time.
