Flea markets are one of the best places to head to if you’re in search of unique items like antiques, collectibles, and other goods that are hard to come by. They can also be wonderful places to find everyday goods like clothes, toys, and tools for extremely low prices. The collections vary from new to slightly used, and this is a great way to upcycle something, making one man’s trash another man’s treasure. Iowa has a number of amazing flea markets, some of which are open every day, all year long, and others that are open for extravagant three-day events seasonally. No matter which you decide to visit, you’ll be sure to go home with something you’ll treasure forever.
