Flea Markets & Trade Days
East Texas has a rich flea market and trade day culture — and at the heart of it is one of the most well-known markets in the country. Canton's First Monday Trade Days, held the weekend before the first Monday of each month, draws visitors from across Texas and beyond to Van Zandt County for one of the largest flea markets in the nation. It's been running for well over a century and remains a defining part of East Texas market culture.
Beyond Canton, East Texas has locally owned flea markets and trade day events across the region — each with its own host, its own character, and its own loyal following. These are permanent or semi-permanent locations run by people who have made market hosting their business.
