Things to do in Connecticut, United States: The Best Flea & Street Markets
Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Wright's Barn is extremely easy to find. It is less than a quarter of a mile off of Route 4. It has two levels packed with antiques and a café. The café is decorated with several stunning vintage kitchen tables and chairs for customers to sit at and enjoy their food. The customer service in Wright's Barn is top notch. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. They were lovely to chat with. Wright's Barn offers furniture, glassware, china, collectibles, jewelry, and artwork. There are 40 vender spaces and they are opened on Saturday and Sunday from 10-4:30pm. Lovely place for anyone interested in antiques. I would suggest at least an hour to be able to go through the whole building. Enjoy.
3. New Brunswick Flea Market
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The New Brunswick Indoor Flea Market is located in a 55,000 square foot rustic manufacturing building in Torrington, CT. Each weekend, vendors and shoppers bring the market to life! Dealers all across New England sell hand-picked treasures, and visitors search for that "special something" to bring home. The New Brunswick atmosphere gives treasure hunters a truly authentic buying experience.

Housed in the former Brunswick sporting goods factory (skates, bowling balls, etc.), this building is host to dozens of vendors of mostly vintage items, which we love. The vendors on-site in their booths, are sociable and friendly and happy to answer any questions. I made a few purchases, a vintage washboard, folding rulers, and old yardsticks (I upcycle vintage items into contemporary home décor.) Be prepared to make an offer in case a vendor doesn't have any pieces priced. Hot beverages and cold water/soda were available at a reasonable price. There is a $1.00 admission charge collected at the entrance. The space is huge, and there's room for several dozen more booths on the main floor. Bathrooms are located on the vacant second floor, up a flight of stairs at the front wall. We''re already planning a return trip in the spring. If you love flea markets, you'll love this one.

This wonderful farmers market has a number of vendors but we love Riverbank Farms and their wonderful fresh produce and prepared foods. Their hot sauce is awesome as is there hummus.
6. Elephant's Trunk Flea Market

My husband and I have been coming to the Elephant’s Trunk for several years. It is one of our favorite places to visit while in Connecticut. Our first time at the flea market, we saw them taping an episode of Flea Market Flip, which was quite exciting as we are fans of the show. We have found some great items here at wonderful prices, but other times left empty-handed. It all depends on what you’re looking for. As we are coming from out of state, we can’t visit as often as we would like, so we try to plan at least a few trips per season. It makes a nice weekend trip combined with stopping at local wineries. It has become one of our favorites!!
