Flea markets have always reminded me of a modern-day treasure hunt. You search through rows of booths and cluttered corners piled high with antique items, vintage clothing and other oddities. Beyond the great deals, part of the draw is the search, so start hunting for your next great find with these North Alabama flea markets.
1. Mountain Top Flea Market
This market started out in the 1970s as a small operation with only a few vendors. However, the Mountain Top Flea Market has grown to now be one of Alabama’s most beloved and biggest flea markets.
Owners Melton and Janie Terrell have kept the traditional flea atmosphere of the market while adding bonuses for guests like great food and drink selections and fresh produce. So, if you want to enjoy some homemade ice cream while you’re here or pick up fresh veggies for dinner, you can. Looking for a new fall wardrobe? You can find it at half the price with a great selection of clothes and accessories.
Want more proof this is a must-visit market? Mountain Top Flea Market secured their spot as the best in Alabama, and they have the award to prove it. They were voted Number One in the Fairs and Flea Market Category by Alabama’s Bureau of Tourism and Travel.
