In Dubuque, Iowa, you’ll find a very big flea market named after a very small dog. Shaggy’s Indoor Flea Market in Dubuque was named after the owner’s Shih Tzu-Poodle, and when it comes to flea markets, this place is the top dog. It has an expanse of offerings as big as any outdoor flea market event, but you don’t have to wait for a special sale date to take advantage of all the deals. Best of all: the market is never rained out. Shaggy’s happens to be one of the largest flea markets in Iowa.
