Raise your hand if you LOVE saving money! It’s probably fair to say that we all love saving money, especially when we’re on the hunt for hidden treasures. You probably already have your favorite spots for thrifting and bargain shopping in South Dakota. However, if you love scouring for great deals and hidden gems, you can’t go wrong with a visit to these six South Dakota flea markets that draw treasure hunters from all over the state. If you haven’t been to these flea markets, you should make plans to go!
Let's be real. Only at Benson's are you going to find one-of-a-kind collectibles, gorgeous statement jewelry, and perfect busts of Grizzly Adams' head (or something similar). You just never know what kind of unique items you're going to find. Benson's Flea Market is located at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds Expo Building and runs on the first full weekend of every month from September to April. Stop by the official Facebook page of Benson's Flea Market for days, hours, and more information. It's one of the most exciting SD flea markets.
The 4 Seasons Flea Market in Madison is just that: the Four Seasons hotel equivalent of flea markets. Open year round (AKA all four seasons), this gem of a shop has been in business for 20 years. It houses a whopping 1,000 vendors so you KNOW you will find a new treasure every time you visit! Take a peek at some of the gems that await on the official Facebook page of 4 Seasons Flea Market.
While not a peddler (a door-to-door canvasser who sells a little bit of everything) in the traditional sense, Peddlers Market is chock-full of all kinds of goodies ranging from home decor and clothes to accessories and hand-made soaps and gifts. Even better? It's open seven days a week, so you can go shopping any time the mood strikes. Check out the official website of Peddlers Market. It's one of the best flea markets in South Dakota.
For a shopping experience that feels like you're walking around an upscale boutique, check out The Farmer's Daughter, which -- as the sign implies -- is filled to the brim with old and new antiques, collectibles, home decor, and gifts. Don't worry if you can't make it to the shop, either. You can browse and buy right online. Here's the official website of The Farmer's Daughter. You're sure to find some unique items here!
While it may have been established in 2014, the Alley Exchange feels like the type of place that has been around forever, thanks to its mixed vendors, highly anticipated pop-up shops, and friendly staff who will make you feel right at home. Start planning your visit, and take a peek at what awaits on the official Facebook page of The Alley Exchange.
"Specializing in Antiques and Collectibles since 1998," the Old West Trading Post is the place to go in SoDak for Old West memorabilia, vintage clothes, furniture, maps, and books. (Psst... when you visit, be sure to take in their "Old West Museum/Olson Estate," which is jam packed full of old-time items in incredible condition.) Check out all of the details, including days and hours, on the official website of The Old West Trading Post. This is a must-visit flea market in South Dakota.
