The Stormville Flea Market can only be described as vast. The old Stormville Airport is categorized in two sides, with newer items on one side and the antique section on the other.

If you are traveling to Stormville Flea Market, it is advisable to set off early. Arriving after 9 am will guarantee a long wait in traffic. Also, make sure that you have enough cash on you as not all vendors accept cards. Dealers often have other antiques in the car and no space to display them so ask them if you like their collection.
If you're driving and the market times coincide, you can 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 operates exclusively 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.
