The Nashville Flea Market 2026 at The Fairgrounds Nashville Tennessee should top your list of things to do this year! It is worth the trip. It is considered one of the largest monthly flea markets in the country and has been a Nashville hot spot since 1969.
All the information, including photos from the new shopping trip, vendor information, dates and times, and cool things found at the market, is right here. I also have an article that answers your frequently asked questions.
Yes, The Nashville Flea Market is Worth the Trip
Such a great way to spend the day. Not only can you find some great buys at the market, but you can also meet some interesting people. Talk with the vendors; they have a wealth of information about their products and the local area.
UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, the Nashville Flea Market for January 2026 has been canceled.
The 2026 Nashville Flea Market will be open for three days during the fourth weekend of the month, opening on Friday at 8:00 a.m. Because of the holidays, the market will be open the third weekend of November and December. One major change made earlier in 2023 is the parking price. Parking for the Nashville Flea Market is now $10.

Shopping Tips for the Nashville Flea Market 2026
I’ve been going to the Nashville Flea Market longer than I remember. It is a junker’s paradise and a great place to find new things, like purses, jewelry, plants, etc.
The shopping is endless, and you can find almost 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 monthly 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 a point of stopping to talk to as many vendors as possible on my shopping trips.
The most popular market months are September-November and March-May. If there isn’t a full vendor lineup, one or more open sheds may not have booths.
Outdoor Booths at The Nashville Flea Market
Some vendors set up tents, and others are just out in the open. If the weather is bad, shopping outside is not a good idea.
I have only known the market to close for the weekend once… and that was in 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.
Homemade goods
If you like fresh, canned jam and jellies, fried pork skins, and freshly baked bread……this is the place for you. Some vendors will frame a print.
Other vendors will monogram just about anything, and many 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
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 been shopping in the market for many years, I know which vendors are most likely to have what I’m looking for and who has the best prices. Most of the vendors will negotiate prices, but please don’t embarrass yourself or them by making a lowball offer.
They are trying to make a living just like we are. The prices are reasonable enough to buy, remake or reinvent, and sell at my booth for a profit.
The crowds come to the market every day, shopping inside and out. If it rains, some vendors leave early, cover everything, or wait it out.
You might get a better deal on Sunday because the vendors won’t have as much stuff to pack up and haul home.
Things You Can Buy 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..
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 Nashville 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, and the entry is from Wedgewood Avenue and the Bransford/Benton Avenue side of the property.
The new space comprises three brick-and-metal air-conditioned buildings totaling 130,000 square feet. There are two large sheds, space for vendors in the show arena, and outdoor booth spaces under canopies.
Additional areas along the property’s perimeter are available for vendors to set up their tents. A few photos I took at the market location…
There are two large open sheds at the market and many 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 there are plenty 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 assume it is the same food and service as at the last location. The food is good, and they have quite a variety of dishes.
Have you been to the new Expo buildings? If so, tell me your thoughts about the market since the move.
