Explore 100+ Local Vendors at Minnesota’s Largest Outdoor Market This Summer

I love a great thrift store find! When you stop into a thrift store or a garage sale or anything like that, you never know what goodies you may find.

I'm very excited that it's that time of year when more outdoor thrifting markets pop up and garage sales, too.

But there's one spot in particular that I haven't been to myself, and I really want to check out someday. It's Minnesota's largest outdoor thrift market!

There are consistently 150-200 vendors at this market each weekend and over 350 on holiday weekends, which is nuts.

You'll be able to find all sorts of items at this market and easily spend a good chunk of your day here.

There are so many things you can find while you're there. Examples on their website include:

[New and used] antiques, clothing, sporting goods, tools, music CD's and vinyl, video games, jewelry, collectables, home goods, arts and crafts, produce, flowers, trees, toys, books and more!

The aerial pictures of the market are just crazy to look at because they're so packed!

They opened for their first market in April, and it runs every Saturday through October. On holiday weekends, though, they extend the shopping days to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, 4th of July weekend, and Labor Day weekend.

They list shopping hours as 7 AM - 1 PM or later, so I would imagine that means some vendors pack up and leave around 1 PM. So if you want to make sure you hit all of the vendors, get there in the morning!
