Denver’s now a big enough city that you can find almost everything you want and need in stores here. Almost everything, that is. Flea markets in and around the city are ideal for picking up stuff you never knew you needed, great deals on used furniture, musical instruments, and tools, and tons of stuff that’s rare, collectible, or delightfully odd.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for at conventional stores in Denver, perusing a local flea market is your next best bet. Check out the following list of Denver-based flea market recommendations, and consider this list of thrift stores for further perusing.
Mile High Flea Market

Located off of I-76 20 minutes northeast of Denver, Mile High Flea Market is Denver’s oldest flea market and is open Friday through Sunday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. The garage sale component is Mile High Flea’s main attraction, which features hundreds of vendors ranging from established local businesses to families selling homemade goods, food, clothes, tools, toys, and countless other things.
But there’s lots more to see, do, and experience here, including rides for the kids, a farmers market offering fresh produce, and seasonal events. Take note that Mile High Flea Market charges a small admission. If you’re interested in earning some extra cash, the Mile High Flea Market website says that vendors make anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per weekend on average.

A Paris Street Market at Aspen Grove and Park Meadows

Boasting over 20 years in Colorado, A Paris Street Market is an open-air vintage, antique, and artisan market that sets up shop at Aspen Grove and the Park Meadows Mall parking lot during select Saturdays in the late spring and summer.
Compared to conventional flea markets, A Paris Street Market is focused primarily on makers and curators, which means the items for sale here are special either because they’re rare or because someone labored over them.
