Each show spans six days and stretches over a mile along Route 20 in Brimfield, MA. Thousands of exhibitors present antique furniture, decorative arts, vintage fashion, folk art, mid-century modern design, glass, pottery, ephemera, architectural salvage, and rare one-of-a-kind finds.
What Is the Brimfield Antique Flea Market?
Established in 1959, the Brimfield Antique Flea Market has grown into a landmark event in the world of antiques and collectibles. Unlike a single centralized fair, Brimfield operates as a collection of independently run show fields, each with its own opening day, character, and dealer mix.
The result is a layered experience. Early-opening fields attract serious trade buyers and interior designers, while later fields offer broad access to collectors and first-time visitors.
Brimfield is not simply a flea market. It is a seasonal marketplace ecosystem.
