The end of summer is near.  Have you gotten your flea on yet?  Better hurry!  Labor Day weekend may be your last chance for some of the best outdoor antiques markets.  Here are some markets close enough to NYC that are worth the trip.

Stormville, NY.  August 30 & 31.

Pound Ridge, Westchester. Monday, September 1st.

Brimfield starts on Tuesday, September 2nd. There will be pre-shows there over the weekend but if you have any time off left, take it to hit the main show.  You won’t be sorry!

Englishtown NJ Auction is on every Saturday and Sunday and is also open on Monday for Labor Day.  It’s a mix of schlock new and some great vintage finds.  Vendors don’t pay a lot for their spaces, so at least they don’t feel the need to up the price just to pay for the rent.

Ok, so Elephant’s Trunk in CT is not just a Labor Day weekend show either, but it’s a flea market must, so this weekend would be as good as any.  Only open on Sunday.

Know of a great big market?  Add it to the comments!
