Trader Jack's Flea Market U.S. Hwy. Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM, connoisseurs say this is one of the best markets of its kind around. You'll find whole sections of antiques, imports from Africa, Bali, South and Central America, vintage and handmade clothing and more. Depending on the season, you might be able to take home watermelons, apples from northern New Mexico orchards or fresh flowers. You'll see tables by commercial dealers who specialize in Indian jewelry, rainsticks or collectible fishing tackle as well as neighbors who've pooled their junk and brought it here rather than having a yard sale.
Nonprofit agencies rent space to sell donated treasures and raise a few bucks.
It's easy to spend hours and money as you amble among the stalls. If you get hungry or thirsty, you can buy what you need from the concession stand. Parking and admission are free. Yard Sales Santa Fe residents love their yard sales. Clothing, toys, furniture, books, treats and necessities for baby, exercise bikes, antiques, plants, knickknacks and all those things you don't know how you managed to live without await you.
