15 Amazing Flea Markets In Massachusetts You Absolutely Have To Visit
Warmer weather and clear skies mean beach days for some people, but others would rather spend a sunny day hunting for treasures in an awesome local flea market. Luckily, Massachusetts is packed with amazing ones.
We’ve already covered many of the awesome flea markets in the state, but these are some of our old favorites and new picks.
