Operating since 1970 just off the beautiful winding Taconic State Parkway, the Stormville Flea Market is steeped in history, and with a little luck, you can meet one of the original vendors. This is the perfect place to soak up the charm of yesteryear while finding that pair of Elvis lamps you always wanted.
The Stormville Flea Market can only be described as huge. The old Stormville Airport is divided into two sections, with newer items on one side and the antique section on the other. What Disneyland is for kids, Stormville is for the flea market junkie. The antique section can vary in size, with more vendors generally present during the summer months. Be sure to look deep, as you are likely to find a diamond in the rough.
For all the foodies out there, the Stormville Flea Market also features a number of booths serving traditional hamburgers and hot dogs, spicy Philly cheesesteaks, freshly made kettle corn, and many other delicious snacks. No visit to the market is complete without a relaxing drink in The Rotary Club's cozy beer garden.
And to keep the whole family happy, there is a well-maintained children's activity area, complete with inflatable slides and bounce houses. There is a nominal charge for these, but the well-trained staff will make sure that parents and children enjoy their flea market experience to the fullest.
When traveling to the Stormville Flea Market, it is advisable to get there early. Arriving after 9 am will guarantee a long wait in traffic. Also, make sure you have enough cash, as not all vendors accept credit cards. Dealers often have other antiques in their car and no space to display them, so ask them if you like their collection.
If you're driving and the market times coincide, take the opportunity to visit the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market, which is only a 30-minute drive away. Be sure to check the opening days of the Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market as it only operates on Sundays from April through December.

Plus a whole lot more, visitors should leave plenty of time for taking in all what the vendors have to offer. Feel free to barter it makes the day feel accomplished and bring a cart to carry back your treasures, if you forget one there will be a vendor to purchase one. Enjoy the day, grab a bite to eat and go home exercised.
