First Monday Trade Days, Major outdoor flea market in Canton, United States
First Monday Trade Days is a major outdoor flea market in Canton that spans a vast area and attracts thousands of vendors. Antiques, crafts, clothing, furniture, and collectibles are displayed at hundreds of stalls throughout the grounds.
The market began in 1850 as a trading post for local farmers and gradually developed into one of the oldest and largest outdoor retail events in the region. This early trading station eventually became a gathering place for collectors and buyers from across the surrounding area.
The monthly gatherings draw makers, artists, collectors, and shoppers from across several states who come together to browse and trade. Visitors come for the variety and the chance to discover rare items that would be difficult to find elsewhere.
The market operates four days each month, from Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday, with timing linked to the calendar. Multiple parking areas and RV campgrounds are available for those who want to stay longer.
The grounds contain an expansive covered shopping area where vendors display both traditional merchandise and contemporary items side by side. This mix of old and new makes shopping possible regardless of weather and offers something for every type of visitor.
