What Is The Largest Flea Market In Minnesota?
The largest flea market in Minnesota is probably the Wright County Swappers Meet, which takes place during warm weather months in South Haven - which is located northwest of the Twin Cities, between Minneapolis and St. Cloud. With more than 200 vendors and covering more than 11 acres, the Wright County Swappers Meet claims to be the largest seasonal flea market in Minnesota. The Elko Traders Market, which boasts more than 300 vendors, is likely the biggest overall, but it only takes place on three holiday weekends - Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day - each year.
