One of the best entirely outdoor flea markets in PA is Rossi’s Pop Up Market. It runs throughout the entire year, rain or shine, on both Saturdays and Sundays. Due to the fact that it’s open during all weather, however, it does tend to be more popular on warmer, bright sunny days.
But if you hate crowds and don’t mind cold or wet, an imperfect weather can be a great opportunity. It does tend to be much quieter on those days. Although, be aware, not all of the vendors will be out, either.
On a nice day, you’ll find between 75 to 100 vendors selling things such as collectibles, homeware, clothing, books, games, and more. And there are also some lovely food stalls as well.
The nice, warm atmosphere also deliberately provides a nice counterpoint to the glossy commercialization of most modern day retail shopping. You’ll often find live entertainment there as well.
Jake’s Flea Market
1380 PA-101, Barto, Berks County 19504
Jake’s Flea Market is one of the best, most charming small flea markets in PA. It has been running since 1980, when Jacob Triechler first set it up on Route 100. It started out with only a small group of vendors. Ever since then, however, it has grown, more sellers joining each year.
At first, it was more of a hidden gem but it became the popular destination it is today. People don’t just gather there to shop but to soak up the community and family feel of the place. This atmosphere makes it stand out amongst many other flea markets in PA. Locals gather to meet up with friends and socialize.

Hazen Flea Market

Hazen Flea Market isn’t open as much of many of the other flea markets in PA. In fact, it’s only open from May until October, and even at that, only for one weekend per month! Despite that, we highly recommend it.
It’s been drawing crowds for around 40 years, with about 10,000 people each market, and there’s clearly a reason. Besides the great deals you’ll find here, you’ll also be directly benefitting the community. Hazen Flea Market is actually a charity for Warsaw Township’s Volunteer Fire Company.
Because of this, the money spent here goes into improving the development of the community as well as the market itself. There is a small parking fee but otherwise there’s no entry fee. Shopping here is a fantastic way to find a rare, cherished item from their 400 vendors while also helping add good to the world.
