The Rommelmarkt Lokeren is a well-known weekly flea market in Flanders, held every Sunday morning from 7 am to 12 noon on the Stationsplein, near the Lokeren train station. This popular market is a favorite among locals and visitors alike for its casual, community-driven atmosphere. Unlike many professional antique fairs, Rommelmarkt Lokeren focuses on private individuals selling second-hand items, providing an authentic flea market experience.
The variety of goods at this market is impressive. Shoppers can find old furniture, kitchen utensils, clothing, books, postcards, stamps, vintage toys and a wide range of collectibles. Many of the items come from people's homes and basements, ensuring a rotating stock of interesting and affordable goods. The market also prohibits the sale of new items, which maintains the authenticity of its offerings and ensures that each visit offers a fresh selection of unique finds.
While the market has a lively atmosphere, it's also well organized. Vendors can register on site as early as 6 a.m. and pay a modest fee to set up their stalls. This accessibility helps foster the friendly, community feel that has become synonymous with the Lokeren flea market. Food stalls such as waffle and hamburger stands are also present, offering refreshments to those who spend the morning browsing the stalls.
Visitors to the Rommelmarkt Lokeren not only enjoy great bargains, but also the opportunity to interact with the local community. It's a wonderful place for treasure hunters, vintage enthusiasts, and those who simply want to declutter or find a bargain. With Lokeren's picturesque backdrop and welcoming atmosphere, the market is a must for anyone in the area on a Sunday morning.
