Bustling stalls spill across the MARC commuter lot at Germantown Road and Bowman Mill Drive, creating a treasure trove under open skies. Stretching over several acres, this vibrant flea market transforms first‑Saturday mornings (April through November) into a retail adventure. Every month, 50–150 vendors line up before dawn to claim their 10 × 10‑foot plots—tables loaded with antiques, collectibles, jewelry, kitchenware, electronics and household goods. Onlookers wander through canopy‑draped lanes, greeting vendors from the Germantown Historical Society and community groups like the Button Farm Living History Center and Boy Scout Troop 1325.
Customer admission and parking are free, ensuring easy access for bargain hunters and casual browsers. For vendors, space rental remains affordable at just $25, with setup starting early between 5:30 and 7:30 AM. Rain cancellations are communicated by 6 AM on event day. All proceeds support local educational and historical initiatives, making each purchase feel part of something bigger. Discover Flea Market in Laurel, Maryland and Montgomery Village Farmers Market.=
