Canton

The First Monday Trade Days of Canton, Texas began as just a flea market over one hundred years ago, but now is home to some of best home furnishings, collectibles, and antiques in the area. While many things have changed over the more than 100 years at the Original First Monday Park, the authentic “down-home” human relationship between shoppers and vendors still remains and keeps people coming back to the unique market. The largest outdoor trade days in the world, the First Monday Trade Days take place the Thursday to Sunday before the first Monday of each month.
