DuPage County and Wisconsin Flea Markets

Do you like Flea Markets?  If you do, you need to put this one on your calendar. On Saturday, August 21, the town of Wheaton, Illinois will be hosting an all night Flea Market. Yep. Last year this event brought in over 10,000 shoppers! They host it at the Dupage County Fairgrounds at 2015 W. Manchester Rd in Wheaton. Imagine six acres of sales! They have approximately 250 vendors along with costumed actors, magicians and food! Bring your flashlight and for more information: www. zurkopromotions.com .

If you are looking for a weekend trip, I have one that I highly recommend. Located in beautiful Princeton, Wisconsin, there flea market is considered Wisconsin’s Largest Weekly Outdoor Market. It opened in April and goes till October 16. There is no admission fee to get in, but be sure to bring some money because you will find plenty to buy. They have antiques of all types, garden items, artwork, flowers, fresh produce, cheese, sausages and honey.  My favorite things to buy are the Hot sugar and cinnamon mini donuts that are sold from a stand. Ummm. If you can’t find what you are looking for here, you probably don’t need it! They open at 6am and close about 1:30pm.

After the flea market is over, go into town and walk the charming downtown area with many stores that carry items that you have not seen before. Every year, my friends and I make a weekend trip. We stay in Green Lake and a visit to Princeton is always on our list of things to do.
