Vintage, collectible, antique, handcrafted, homegrown, new, used, local, unco​mmon, bizarre--you'll find it here!  For nearly 50 years, the flea market at the State Fairgrounds has offered one of the most unique and entertaining shopping experiences in the state.  

Each weekend, hundreds of indoor and outdoor vendors showcase an incredible range of items, from high-end antiques to power tools and everything in between.  A rotating array of food trucks, fair food, and farm stands ensures you won't leave hungry!  

Better than a mall, better than a thrift shop, better than online shopping -

The Raleigh Market is an event not to be missed!
