Flea markets are so underrated. From home decor to seasonal produce, they have everything you could ever need at a low price. Traders Village in San Antonio is extra special because it not only spans over 100 acres, but also has special events like concerts and even a corn maze during fall. The best part? It’s open all year long!
The original location in Grand Prairie has been around since 1973, eventually expanding to Houston and San Antonio after experiencing such great success. Below is a photo of the market in its earliest days.
More than 1,000 vendors set up shop on 100+ acres of land each weekend, making it the region's largest flea market. Over a million people browse these booths for unbeatable bargains yearly!
No matter what you're in the market for, rest assured someone is selling it. Affordable clothing can be found around every corner, including this entire shop full of Western wear.
With the holiday season fast approaching, home decor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is essential. From Halloween wreaths to chic wall art, your house will get a complete makeover with these unbelievable prices.
Nerds will rejoice at the wide selection of comic books, games, action figures, and other geeky paraphernalia. You just might find a rare Pokemon card that's been elusive for years.
A day full of shopping works up quite an appetite, but that's nothing some greasy concession stand food can't fix. That isn't the only thing about Trader's Village resembling a fair - there are also plenty of rides to keep kiddos occupied while you peruse the merchandise.
Tons of festivals and special events take place throughout the year, like this epic 10-acre corn maze open through November 25. Click here to purchase ticket and beat the lines!
