The Dodge County Fairgrounds will be bursting with unique treasures and handmade items this summer.  The monthly Flea Market and Craft Fair will be held five Saturdays throughout the summer months from 8:00 am – 2:00 pm at the Fairgrounds.

Past events included more than one hundred vendors from all over the Midwest.  Even more vendors are expected for the 2017 market season.  Flea market vendors showcase one-of-a-kind antiques, glassware and toys.  Several other items and collections are available for purchase – DVDs, tools and unique collectibles.  Craft fair booths will feature unique wooden furniture, handmade jewelry and soap, and craft decor for the home.  Children will enjoy spending their earnings on handmade doll clothes and toys.  Additional vendors include small and home-based businesses such as Scentsy, Avon and Plexus.  There really is something for everyone that attends.

2017 event dates include:

Family-friendly activities are offered at each market – though the themes may change.  Past activities include glitter tattoos, balloon animals, face painting and princess meet-and-greets.  Raffles will also take place at each event.

Concessions are available for purchase and fresh produce is sometimes offered, depending on the season and availability.

Booths will be located indoors and outdoors throughout the summer.  The flea market and craft fair will be held rain or shine.  All booths will be moved indoors if the weather is not favorable for an outdoor market.

Download, print and post the Flea Market Poster on bulletin boards at work or in your community.

Admission is always free and there is no charge for parking.  So this makes for a very affordable event for the whole family.  Most vendors will offer their own shopping bags, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own tote bags, rolling carts or wagons.

The Flea Market and Craft Fair are always welcoming more vendors – antiques and collectibles, crafts and handmade goods, small business owners, food and fresh produce and on-site activities.  Interested vendors may contact Mary Edwards to reserve their booth space.  Mary may be reached at [email protected] or 920-350-5360.  Booths are very generous in size.  Affordable booth rental fees range from $15-20 per market.  Vendors interested in participating for the entire season will receive their fifth booth rental for free.
