RALEIGH – Shoppers who enjoy searching for deals and unique products at the Raleigh Flee Market have one final weekend to shop before the market closes in preparation for the N.C. State Fair, which runs Oct. 15-25.
The flea market will operate Saturday, Sept. 26, and Sunday, Sept. 27, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will be closed until the weekend of Nov. 7.
Held each weekend at the N.C. State Fairgrounds except during the month of October, the Raleigh Flea Market is one of the largest markets of its kind in the Southeast. The market hosts hundreds of dealers, craftsmen and booths selling everything from antique sports equipment and toys, to furniture and handmade jewelry.
