So, eight girlfriends get on a plane to Boston, rent two minivans and head to Brimfield. After 1 1/2 days of shopping, our minivans are completely full. Bargains galore! We live in Texas so we have Round Top Antique Fair to compare with Brimfield, and we found lots more good deals at Brimfield. But Round Top is a lot bigger and there is a lot more variety.After a day and a half at Brimfield, we felt like we had seen it all. It was fun, we had a blast, but we were really expecting something bigger.

As usual, enjoyed the show though we now understand that July is slow compared to May and Sept and as well you run the risk of the gawd-awful heat but this year was not terrible. We have been at all times and have our favorite dealers though we find some now retired. All port-o-lets now seem to have the running water for hand washing which improves the ordeal of using such a facility for two days running, in our case! Our one complaint as parking prices rose a lot. What was $7-8 now $10 May 2013 to July 2014. Seems a high increase. Prices good, dealers so nice and informative as usual. If you've never been - consider it...if you've been - consider trying it again! We were told it was the slowest July ever from people long in the business (44 years, for example!) but we'd go back. Dealers seem to consistently say that they bring their "uniques" in July to attract the buyers but others also say they don't "bring their normal" so go at some peril but know you'll have fun!

This was my second trip to this show in a year. I do not recommend attending this show. At least 50% was flea market items not antiques and dealers were thick and bought quite a bit. Probably will never return to this event.

All the fields t Brimfield have something different, but Shelton's is my go to place for the Shabby Chic stuff. Lots of decor for both home and garden, but also fun industrial furniture and cool guy stuff to keep the men occupied as well. It has a great mix of vendors, and there's always a couple good food vendors at the front.Parking is really easy - there is a field in the back that is accessible from the road just before it.Rates are average.

It is hard to fathom all the deals and antique and collectables that are at this area during there show. Went for the week in Sept 2014 and did not see it all. They say the spring show is even better ! Plan to be on hand when it opens on Tuesday as close to 12 - 14 fields open that day. the rest open during the week with vengeance ! Plan to arrive early - Sunrise and shop until about 6:00 pm . And best of all , enjoy !!

The Brimfield Fair in May (2014) was packed full of tables, tents and items, as usual. I hadn't been in a while, and found the item prices to be quite a bit higher than I remembered.Saturday was a nice day, weather-wise, and I brought my Honey with me, which made it more interesting looking at vintage items (since he swears he's got a bunch of them in storage somewhere, and we were able to reminisce over other familiar items). When we first arrived, we found a cool-looking, bronze Dragon statue that was being sold for about $500. That was steep! It looked like a one-of-a-kind thing...but, then, a little while later we saw a bunch of them in several different finishes in another location, selling for $350 each. Big difference. Later, we found yet another location where they were trying to get $600 for the same thing. It's really (and nearly literally at times) a crap shoot. To get the most out of this kind of shopping, in my opinion, you really need to be okay with bargaining/haggling, as well as having a clear idea of the value of things.Besides my perception of the higher prices, the other new thing for me was seeing 'bathroom attendants' at some of the porta-potty stations. These folks were looking for monetary tips for telling you which stall to use (and maybe for keeping them a bit cleaner than unattended ones), which was...um...different.Going to the Brimfield Fair can be a fun thing to do for fans of vintage items and flea markets, and it takes many hours to get through it all. I will also say that I have a lot of respect for the people who haul all of their items stuff back and forth to this type of show. (Maybe we should applaud them if they can get close to the money they're asking for these things.)

This "Show" is huge. It has something for everyone. Thousands of vendors from all over USA set up shop with a wide variety of goods. There are plenty of eateries as well. People come from all over the world to "do Brimfield". Three weeks a year [in May, July, and September], the little rural town of Brimfield is transformed into the largest antique market in the world. It's fun and unique. Some fees are charged [parking and some vendor "fields"], but much of it is free to browse.

Beware of sellers who are trying to sell overpriced re purposed junk. Overall if you like flea markets then this is the place for your. Thousands of vendors outdoors that sell mostly junk but if your willing to sift through the discards your apt to find something you like. Parking fills up but is only $5.00 so come early.

My cousin and I came to the show without any particular reason or quest. It was a great day to explore, price things, and see something we hadn't seen before. There are fields, and fields of vendors selling everything, and anything. There are a couple of fields which charge an admission, but we didn't need to go there, because there was plenty of free areas..What I can't understand is why some of the vendors refused to budge a nickel, while others offered 50% discount. Oh well, its like I've always said, "An antique is only worth what someone is willing to pay". We enjoyed the day, and an ice cream. We may return next year.

There is something for everyone at this amazing, enormous flea market. Antiques, vintage treasures, gardening accessories, clothing, crystal, industrial inspired lighting and furnishings, hand made donuts. Yes, donuts that melt in your mouth. Wonderful assortment of every type food to keep you energized for the miles of walking. We have gone every year, several times for decades. Not to be missed! You are in for a fun experience.
