Canton, Texas

Canton is known for First Monday Trade Days.

A town of 3,800 residents once a month host
100,000 to 400,000 visitors who shop at this huge flea market.


Approximately 100 acres and up to 6,000 vendors who offer goods for sale. 
It is the largest and oldest continually operated flea market in the United States..


It started over 150 years ago when a circuit judge came to town on the 
first Monday of the month for trials. 
Locals came to town to watch trials and trade or sell their goods.

Today the First Monday Trade Days are really held on Thursday - Sunday
 before the first Monday of the month.
