Flea Markets

Turn unwanted items into cash at an MCCS Flea Market. The Flea Market currently rotates between Camps Courtney and Foster each weekend (exception being no Flea Market on the 5th weekend). Vendors must arrive on-site and sign up and pay the $15 fee (cash only) one hour prior to opening (no exceptions). Space is available on a first come, first served basis. Flea Marketing may be cancelled due to inclement weather and other situations that may involve the safety of our sellers and buyers. For updates on weather and other related cancellations please follow us on Facebook.

Note, the website will not be updated during the weekend. Facebook is the preferred method on last minute notifications.

For more information, call MCCS Special Events at 645-5829.
