However twice a year, in Spring and in Autumn, this town positively bursts to life as the Sparks Kansas Antiques and Collectables Flea Market hits the area. Over 75,000 visitors flock to this antiques and collectables flea market to browse, bargain-hunt and buy the offerings. It is a phenomenon that simply must be seen to be believed.
Sparks Kansas Antiques and Collectables Flea Market has been in operations since 1982 and the event has grown each year that it has taken place.
