    Nashville Flea Market Dates 2023 with parking information, and everything you need to know before you go.

    The Nashville Flea Market is open one weekend a month. The market is a great place to find just about anything and should top your list of things to do in Nashville! All the information including shopping trip photos from the new location,  vendor information, dates and times, and cool things found at the market is right here.

    Shopping The Nashville Flea Market 2023

    I’ve been going to the Nashville Flea Market for longer than I can remember. It is a junker's paradise and a great place to find new things too like purses, jewelry, plants, etc. The shopping is endless and you can find just about anything your 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.

    The most popular market months are September-November and March-May. If there isn't a full vendor line up one or more of the open sheds may not have any booths.

    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 2016. 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.

    Painted Furniture

    Several vendors are talented painters. The furniture 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.

    If you like fresh canned jam and jellies, fried pork skins, freshly 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. Most of the fine antiques are inside the buildings. You can also find fine jewelry vendors and dealers selling gold and silver coins.

    Unique Vendor Trailers

    Dead People's Things

    How about that for a business name? The name does say it all. 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 in 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.

    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.

     

    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......

    Find food and clothing at the Nashville Flea Market

    .....food, vitamin supplements, handbags, new and vintage jewelry, gold and silver coins, custom embroidery, custom lawn games, metal yard art….etc., etc., etc..

    reclaimed window and doors

    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.

    New Fairgrounds Location 

    The flea market opened in its new location at The Fairgrounds Nashville. The new location is down the hill from the old exhibit buildings, entry is from Wedgewood Avenue and from the Bransford/Benton Avenue side of the property.

    The new space has three brick-and-metal air-conditioned buildings and a  total of 130,000 square feet. There are two large sheds, space for vendors in the show arena, and outdoor booth spaces under canopies. There are additional areas on the perimeter of the property for vendors to set up their own tents.

    A few photos I took at the new location...

    There are two large open sheds a the market and a lot of closed-off streets that make getting around easy. Some vendors are also set up out in the open with or without canopies. I found Dead People’s Things, one of my favorite vendors.

    Going inside the Expo Buildings now. I don’t think they are really calling this a new location since the market is just across the street from where it was. They refer to the new Expo buildings….so I will too. Everything is fresh and bright and I noticed a lot of bathrooms. No worries there. I stopped by the Rada booth and bought some more knives. These are the best.

    Food At The Market

    There were several food vendors in the outside common areas. I noticed a Fried Green Tomato trailer. Hubby loves fried green tomatoes but I’m not a fan.

    The indoor café is inside one of the buildings and I’m assuming it is the same food and service as at the last location. The food is good and they have quite a variety. Lots of room to walk around. Maybe you’ve been to the new Expo buildings? Tell me what you think about the market if you’ve been since the move.
