One of the tinier spots on our list, we still think the Centre Brick Indoor Flea Market is worth a visit. They have roughly 30 vendors that set up shop and provide you with the home decor and vintage gems you never knew you needed. They also have a solid set of hand-made toys! (526 Main Street)
Open on the fourth weekend of every month, the Nashville Flea Market is known for its hundreds of vendors and eclectic shopping experience. Come when the weather is nice and you'll lose hours to these tiny shops, chock full of treasures. ( 500 Wedgewood Avenue)
Crossville Flea Market considers itself an old fashioned flea market, one that operates on small town kindness and good, old fashioned service. Visit every weekend year 'round, if the mood strikes you. (3034 Hwy 70 N)
Porter Flea is where local artists come together and show off their wares in a communal, seasonal space. It usually comes packed to the hilt with good people with even better wares, so come and support the community! (3201 Dickerson Pike)
This is one neat flea market - they provide free vendor spaces to the "entrepreneur minded". The sixty-acre facility is expansive and fantastic to wander, if you have the time and the drive. We'd highly recommend for an infusion of local culture. (4010 Jackson Ave)
The Cleveland Street Flea Market is managed by the Crosstown Arts, and is located in the Crosstown neighborhood of Memphis. At fifteen years old, it now represents a broad range of goods and decor that will add that extra oomph to your home. (438 N Cleveland Street)
There are over 800 vendors at the Sweetwater Flea Market, and it has come to be known as one of the most expansive flea markets in the state. Its scope of goods is extensive and fantastic, and it's open for your weekend perusal. Happy hunting! (121 County Road 342)
One of Tennessee's oldest flea markets, there are over 200 vendors that set up shop at the East Ridge Flea Market. It's great for a weekend wandering if you're in the Chattanooga area. (6725 Ringgold Road)
Who wouldn't want to visit with a name like Friendly Frank's...? Located in Jackson, the family-owned flea market has been in operation for 20 years and continues to make Tennessee a great place to hunt for treasure. It's open the first full weekend of the month, with the exception of July and September.(800 S Highland Avenue)
Free admission AND free parking?! Yes please! You may have to fight a couple of folks as they crowd in to the most visited flea market in the south, but it's worth it for the haul you're bound to pull. There are over 1,000 rotating vendors that help make each visit different and unique - it's a must! (220 W Dumplin Valley Road)
