Flea markets might not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about Texas, but maybe they should be – the little town of Canton believes so, at least. It holds the largest flea market in America on the weekend before the first Monday of each month with over 6,000 vendors, attracting upwards of 100,000 shoppers. That’s a big deal for a town of 3,500. From food to antiques to classic cars, this market has it all, and you’ll definitely want to check it out.
On the first Monday of every month, thousands of people gather in Canton to partake in First Monday Trade Days.

The market has changed a lot in its 150 years of operation, but one thing that remains the same is the Southern charm and hospitality of vendors and customers alike.
