All Nashville Flea Market 2019 New Location information including directions and parking information, times, scheduled dates, parking information, shopping tips, vendor highlights, etc..
The market is a great place to find just about anything! I shop the Nashville Flea Market as often as I can. It is a junker’s paradise and a great place to find new things too like, purses, jewelry, plants, etc.
Nashville Flea Market Shopping
I’ve been going to the Nashville Flea Market for longer than I can remember. It’s a happening place! The shopping is endless and you can find just about anything your little homemaking heart desires at the market.
The vendors are friendly and helpful. Heck, some of them are like family now. I usually shop the same vendors every month because I’ve learned over the years which vendors have the good junk. And that’s what I shop for, things to upcycle.
A few of the vendors I met years ago have left the market for one reason or another and I miss them so I make it a point to stop and talk to as many vendors as I can on my shopping trips.

Nashville Flea Market Location
The Nashville Flea Market is located at The Fairgrounds Nashville, 625 Smith Ave.
The flea market area consists of several large buildings, a bunch of open sheds, and a lot of paved outdoor space. Vendors are set up in all of these areas. There are food and drink vendors too. We don’t want to forget them.
Outdoor Booth Spaces
Some vendors set up tents and other are just out in the open. If the weather is bad, shopping outside is not good. I have only known the market to close for the weekend one time….and that was January of this year.
Nashville had a blanket of snow and ice. For the safety of the vendors and customers the market closed for the month of January 2016.
Several vendors are talented painters. The piece above is one of my favorites. A lot of work went into this piece. You can also find vintage furniture in perfect condition or furniture that needs refinishing or painting.
This is one of the enclosed sheds and the vendors here sell everything from personal products… to large rugs/carpets… to antiques. Most of the fine antiques are in the buildings. Also in the buildings of the market you can find fine jewelry vendors and dealers selling gold and silver coins.
If you like fresh canned jam and jellies, fried pork skins, fresh baked bread……this is the place for you. There are vendors who will frame a print, vendors who monogram just about anything, and vendors who sell herbal supplements.
How about that for a business name. I like it! I usually shop the vendors set up in the open areas outside and under the sheds. I find furniture to paint and junky, rusty stuff. Since I’ve shopped the market for many years, I know which vendors are most likely to have what I’m looking for and also who has the best prices.
Most of the vendors will negotiate prices but please don’t embarrass yourself or them by making a low ball offer. They are trying to make a living just like we are. The prices are reasonable enough that I can buy things, remake or reinvent them, and sell them at my booth for a profit.
Things found at The Nashville Flea Market:
antiques, vintage furniture, new furniture, rusty junk, architectural findings, vintage advertising signs, reclaimed doors and windows, new clothes, new shoes, sunglasses, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, handcrafted items of all kinds, food, vitamin supplements, handbags, new and vintage jewelry, gold and silver coins, custom embroidery, custom lawn games, metal yard art….etc., etc., etc..
Just look at all those goodies. From this single vendor there is everything from vintage screen doors to metal olive buckets to new metal items from Mexico.

The crowds come every day of the market, shopping inside and out. If it rains some of the vendors leave early or cover everything up and wait out the rain. You might get a better deal on Sunday because the vendors won’t have as much stuff to pack up and haul home.

Hi! How far is Nashville flea market from Music row. We are going in July for the weekend and flying in. I reaslze we would need to rent a car. But can’t figure out the distance between the two. Thanks.
Kathy Owen says
I’m not sure exactly Donna but not more than 3 or 4 miles. Hope you get the time to go. I think you would enjoy it!

My boyfriend and I took a road trip from Kansas to the Nashville Flea last summer, it was huge! The biggest Flea I have ever been to 🙂
Kathy Owen says
It is huge and the prices are great! Such a variety of stuff too.
Sharon says
Thanks for sharing. I wanted to go this when passing through on my way home from a trip to Vermont. My visit will need to wait until a visit to TN instead of the entire east coast. I will visit. I love flea markets since my favorite one is in Canton, TX, just 20 minutes from my home. I prefer the smaller size. I do have a question. Do they negotiate during the market or just toward the end of the last day? Thanks again for the information.
Kathy Owen says
Most vendors will negotiate during the market. It’s true you will probably get the very best price on the last day….but then some of the best goodies may be gone!
