Jersey does flea markets right. From a 200-acre behemoth that’s been running since 1929 to a tiny church-lot sale under a covered bridge, the state is packed with places to dig for treasure. Some have been around longer than your grandparents. Some are brand new and weirder than most.
We organized every confirmed flea market in NJ so you can actually use this list. Year-round spots first (shop in December, shop in July, doesn’t matter). Seasonal markets after that. Always call or check socials before you drive — weather, weddings, and random closures happen.

This list is ONLY flea markets – nothing else.

Collingwood Auction & Flea Market
The Collingwood Auction and Flea Market, is twenty-five acres of organized chaos. The year-round flea market has hundreds of outdoor merchants plus a 60,000-square-foot building with 100+ indoor booths. Housewares, clothing, jewelry, antiques, furniture, sports gear, produce—it’s all here. The mix ranges from storage-unit finds to legit vintage treasures.
It’s been a Jersey staple for 50+ years. The outdoor market thins in winter but the indoor space keeps humming year-round. There’s a guy named Igor inside who repairs antique pocket watches like a wizard.
Fun Fact: The sub shop near the highway entrance makes killer subs with homemade hot relish that people drive from all over for. Also, there’s an excellent pickle vendor in the center aisle (this is my secret addiction!).

Englishtown Auction
The Englishtown Auctions, around since 1929, was once one of the largest open-air markets in the entire country. But over the last few years I have noticed a decline. There are five indoor buildings plus hundreds of outdoor vendor tables. Vintage toys, antiques, records, guitars, comic books, pet supplies, home decor, clothing, food trucks, the works.
Englishtown was my go to for most of my twenties and cannot deny the impact of a cheesesteak in the morning after a night out with friends. In its heyday, it would be packed and you could not find a parking spot. In the last few years, it has definitely seen a slowdown in traffic – and vendors. Still worth it? Absolutely. But I would love to see it come back to life the way it was.
Fun Fact: The auction is also home to Mainbrook Tavern, which is a secret gem in itself. The vibe is lowkey, food is good – and people are great. Highly recommend it!
address: 90 Wilson Avenue, Manalapan, NJ 07726
hours: Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
open dates: all year round, rain or shine

Flea Market Tips for Jersey
- Go early. The best stuff is gone by 10 AM. Real bargain hunters are there at sunrise.
- Bring cash. Small bills. Most vendors take it, some don’t take anything else.
- Haggle. That’s the whole point. Don’t be rude, but don’t pay sticker.
- Check the weather. Most outdoor markets cancel or thin out in heavy rain.
- Follow their socials. Flea market schedules change constantly. Facebook and Instagram are the most reliable updates.
- Eat the food. Flea market breakfast sandwiches are an underrated Jersey food group.
