On the hunt for some cool trinkets, antiques, or collectibles? Texas’ flea market scene has you covered! Of course, flea markets are awesome and all, but not so much underneath the blazing hot Texas sun. Discovery Green Park in Houston has provided a perfect solution to that dilemma with Flea by Night: a nighttime flea market in Texas. Check it out!

Discovery Green is a massive urban park in Downtown Houston boasting over 600 free events each year. These activities include live music performances, holiday festivities, and - as we'll be highlighting today - eclectic markets that offer a variety of wares.

On the third Saturday of each month (weather permitting), Discovery Green transforms into a bustling flea market. The action typically kicks off just before sunset, so you'll get to enjoy a bit of lingering daylight before dusk falls.

Once night officially falls, the real fun begins. Presented by Green Mountain Energy, hundreds of shimmering lights illuminate the park and make for a shopping trip like nothing you've ever experienced.
