Nashville Flea Market — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

They have everything - like everything. I wish I lived locally so I could have bought stuff that doesn't have to fit in my suitcase. Some items are clearly newly made craft items (nothing wrong with that) and some were clearly found in a barn that hasn't been used since WWII. Each vendor seems to have their own niche, meaning that you can get a light-up Santa from the 1960's, a brand new book that will show you how to play the bass-line on Led Zeppelin songs, a bust of Mozart, a rifle or shot gun, some yams for dinner - and a corn dog - without having walk more than 50 paces. And that's just one of the sheds! Inside, the bathrooms are very clean (if you need 'em), the popcorn keeps poppin' (and you'll want a bag... or two), and every ware known to mankind is likely to be found. I found 7 1/2 yards of one antique fabric that was exactly the same as fabric my own grandmother had purchased in SW Ontario, Canada in the 1940's. And yes, I bought it. Couldn't buy the beautiful pecans we saw (oh what pies they would have made!) because of importation rules... but there certainly was lots else to choose from! For tourists, if you're tired of the honky-tonks and just need a break - and you're in Nashville on the 4th weekend in October, come here. The people are so friendly - vendors and customers alike. There's a free shuttle to take you back up to the parking lot - you could take it down the hill too. Parking is just $5. Where else can you get a day of entertainment for the whole family for that price? We're coming back as soon as we get...

I’m not a review writer, but I’m a Flea Market enjoyer who just moved to Nashville for college, and I don’t think I’ll be comfortable coming back to this Flea Market anytime soon. I was looking around at a stall with marker-stained and damaged LPS going for $8-$15 and got accused of stealing one by a vendor across the way. I immediately dropped my stuff, started emptying my pockets, and asked them to check me over, but they didn’t even have the decency or the accountability to actually look through my stuff, call a form of security, or apologize after accusing me in front of multiple other vendors. The actual seller just prattled on about profit margins and how common theft is, and the accuser just kept giving me dirty looks, looking through his phone, and backing away. If you’re going to accuse someone of theft in an area where theft is a very serious offense, you have to be ready to declare that you were wrong just as loudly, or no one will feel safe looking around...

Love the new facility and all the vendors, but Parking is a NIGHTMARE! They have you parking up on the hill where the old fairgrounds is located. You have to walk a long way to get to the new facility and going back uphill with purchases is terrible! There is 1 tiny shuttle bus that is available to take you up the hill if you have time to wait and if your purchases will fit through the door! During the October event, 1/2 of the handicap parking area was taken up with extra outdoor vendors, so we drove around, backed up many times, and finally got a spot. The indoor booths and isles are very crammed together, so it’s difficult to walk around.... even for non- handicapped persons. Outdoor spaces are nice. They still allow smoking outside... no dogs allowed, but everyone ignores that rule. And it seems every woman has a wagon!!!! We will keep going because of the great vendors, but management and facility maintenance need to improve the parking and...
