Everyone In Minnesota Should Visit This Epic Flea Market At Least Once

Minnesota is full of some seriously awesome secondhand treasures. We've got thrift stores, antique malls, consignment shops, and more. It truly is a treasure hunter's dream come true! So, what's one of the most fun ways to score an amazing deal around these here parts? Well, if you ask us, there's only one answer to that: scouring one of the dozens of flea markets happening around the state on any given weekend is about as good as it gets. We think that the best flea market in Minnesota is the Wright County Swappers meet in South Haven, and we think you'll fall in love with it as much as we have.

The Wright County Swappers Meet is one of the largest flea markets in the state.

On a normal weekend, you'll find 200 to 300 vendors. On a holiday, the grounds will be packed with 500+ vendors ready to strike a deal.

Located about an hour northwest of the Twin Cities, this place is a pretty big deal.

The market has been going strong since 1970 and was even named Minnesota's Best Flea Market by WCCO viewers once upon a time. Better still, parking and admission are completely free!

This huge flea market has a little bit of everything.

How could you say no to a massive outdoor antique exchange that doubles as a farmers market? Bonus: if you're not ready to go home to cook your fresh veggies, there are plenty of vendors from whom to get a quick meal. Biscuits and gravy, anyone?

Crafters, you won't leave empty-handed.

Everyone knows one of the best reasons to shop secondhand is to find materials for crafting. With so many vendors at the Wright County Swappers Meet, you're guaranteed to find something you can use.

You might even find some treasures that have already been repurposed.

Let's face it, there isn't always time to get crafty. Luckily, it's almost guaranteed there will be at least one vendor selling beauties that they've already repurposed.

Of course, you'll find plenty of traditional flea market goodies.

From clothing to vintage furniture to old pots and pans, there's no way you're going to leave with an empty car. But don't worry about carrying it all back. The organizers have golf carts to help you lug your finds back to the parking lot. Now you have no excuse not to buy that 200-year-old rocking chair.

Seriously, there's something for everyone.

After you visit the Swappers Meet once, you'll want to come back again and again. There's no shortage of things to see, and when you're done looking (and eating), you'll have a chance to enjoy some live music entertainment.

Luckiest of all for Minnesotans, the Wright County Swappers meet in South Haven goes on for most of the year! Time to go treat yourself to some new-to-you goodies, are we right?
