There are food trucks with picnic tables and seats and an Italian restaurant where selling food, snacks, drinks, sodas, beer and wine. I saw a few people with their dogs, so it's probably not a problem. Admission is free and there are enough parking lots that you have to pay, some for $5 and some for $10.

Best antique market every time I go. The largest market I’ve ever been too.

Some tips- get there early for best parking and cheaper options. They usually raise prices later the day. The market is free but parking is usually $10-$20.

It’s walking all around both sides of the street full of vendors with goods from modern times to really old say 1800s-2025. There’s furniture, textiles, toys, electronics, cameras, tools, kitchenware, glass, storage cabinets, chairs, tables, custom made pieces, books, clothing, vintage signs, garden goods, etc etc.

There’s food vendors and snacks around. Bring water so you can stay hydrated. Great mix of food selection too.

Vendors are greats! Some only take cash but there’s ATMs. Some take venmo and such. It’s great to hear their stories and get to know about their businesses.

Can’t wait to come back brimfield! See you next time....
