Every time I go here, I find something different to buy really have fun, searching and look for stuff that I could use or my family. But you can find some good food good desserts if you walk around a lot of fun.

This review would have been very different if it weren’t for one cranky vendor that felt the need to loudly mock us for wearing masks. So, just a heads up… if you plan on entering the building with a mask, this vendor is incredibly offended by that and will be sure to let you and everyone around you know just how angry he is. As to which booth this was, trust me, you’ll know it when you see it.

It’s big!!! That is the most positive thing I can say about it. Must of the stuff is JUNK or the same stale product that you see at any flea market

We went Saturday morning to have a walk around. There is new stuff and old. There is an indoor part and an outdoor part. There are even some places to get food. A neat experience.
Parking is free but the later you get there the further away you have to park.

If you love flea markets put this one on your list. Its located on the Raleigh fairgrounds near the Dorton Arena. You can find a wide variety of nostalgic items, fresh fruit and vegetables and knick knacks, this flea market has it all! They even have food vendors available that sell fair favorite food. Bring cash as many of the vendors don't take cards or you have to have a certain purchase amount.

What to do in Raleigh-Durham area on a Sunday? I thought that I would start the day with a visit to the Raleigh Flea Market.
This is an open air/indoor market that is held on Saturday and Sunday at the North Carolina State Fair area.
When I arrived at about 1130am, parking was busy. Luckily I saw someone pull out of a spot and I nipped in.
From what I saw, the market is a mixture of people selling new stuff ( mainly inside, it is all new things, with the exception of an antiques seller at the far end of the building), and outside, there is a mixture of general bric-a-brac stalls and people selling some new stuff out there.
I walked around for about an hour. There was lots of Tat. People trying to sell any old rubbish (and not selling some of it very cheaply either). The new stuff was generally NOT cheap. A lot of the things could be purchased on line or in shops like Walmart for less.
I “ummed and arred” on whether to buy a few things, but in the end decided against it.
Summary When in Raleigh-Durham….don’t bother going to the Raleigh Flea Market…it’s not worth the effort unless you are a die hard market/car boot sale sort of person.

Recently spent a saturday afternoon at the flea market and was seriously disappointed. I enjoy garage/yard sales but this flea market had a lot of just junk. I was expecting more diversity in items and less junk. There were not as many crafters as I expected. Overall it was a disappointment. On the plus side, it was easy to get to and had lots of parking. Good variety of food trucks and food vendors.
