Arlington Flea Market

Eh. A flea market is not quite what I had in mind bc I expected something on a much larger scale. Since this place was set up on a corner street block with part of the street sectioned off, the size of the market was quite small.
There was about a little over two dozen booths. Some will accept credit cards while others are cash only. I’ve noticed that if you use your credit card, taxes will automatically be charged whereas using cash can be cheaper since taxes aren’t accounted for.

Tiny flea market. not much really here. I wouldn’t make a trip out just to go to the flea market, but if you are in the area then stop by.
It is also connected to the farmers market which is small too, but nice.

Don’t get this confused with the Arlington Civitan Flea Market that happens over at Washington & Lee High School.
There were only a handful of vendors but if you need to get your boots shined like african art & paying top dollar for already worn jeans this is your place. They also have a ton of jewelry vendors as well.
I’d skip the crazy guy in the cowboy hat since most of his stuff he wanted retail prices for. He even had a couple of $ 200 shirts from a brand I’ve never even heard of.

Great place, I just moved to the area and totally enjoyed it. It would be nice if it was a bit bigger but it was fun overall. Found a couple of super cool designer pieces for a few bucks! Will totally be visiting this flea more often: o)

Stopped by here today and was disappointed by the slim pickings and lack of antiques. More of the vendors were pedaling boutiquey wares, such as silky, patterned purses that have been a staple of outdoor markets lately. The jewelery selection was mostly unexciting strands of metal and plastic pearl-​shaped necklaces. There was one booth with a random assortment of neat drawings, designer purses (a Coach purse, back when Coach wasn’t gaudy). Still, Arlington Antique Market is not worth the trip.

Walk if you are in the neighborhood, drive if you are a bit further (there’s ample street parking) or take the metro — the flea market is only ½ block from the Courthouse stop. However you get there, go! This flea market, while considerably smaller (only 40 vendors) than Sunday’s Georgetown Flea at the same location, is on Saturdays and coincides time-​wise (for the first 3 hours) with the Farmers Market that takes place right next to it. The Farmers Market closes at 12 and the Flea closes at 4. So if you go in the morning you have a good opportunity to grab some bfast next door while you peruse the Flea. They have lots of antique and vintage vendors, sellers of DVDs and CDs, artwork vendors, clothing vendors as well as vendors selling international wares. I am so in favor of having the Flea here Saturday and Sunday… please stop in and show your support for a great community builder.
