Endless booths of things everywhere.
We arrived at opening time. Us and 2 other people, no crowd. Lots of rain, but there was plenty of indoor and under cover things to see. Stayed all day and didn’t buy anything the first day. Went back the next morning and hit the places we made a list of the day before to actually buy things and that’s when we brought the cart. First day was more fun to look and make sure we saw it all. Second day was go back and make those purchases. One thing I noticed about the clothing shops is that they’re all selling the brand. Go see a few clothes shops before buying so you don’t find out later that another shop has it. I found the homemade and handmade items to be of more interest to me. And the booths that seemed like they weren’t regulars and were just to there to sell some stuff. I appreciated the booths with the vintage items. I bought an end table and a decorative chest. Bought some hand made wood items and loved the place that told homemade soaps and had the bowl of soap scraps which you could fill a bag for $10. I wish I had written down the name of that place. Even going the second day we realized there was even more we hadn’t seen the first day. The pavilions just go on and on and are seemingly endless. I was surprised by no crowd, but was glad. There were steady streams of people but I wouldn’t call it busy. Plenty to see and buy and worth going back for sure. We brought a small canvas cooler to keep water and drinks in so that we didn’t break the bank on $3 drinks. But try to minimize what you carry because it’s a lot of walking. It was difficult to go back and walk it again the second day. A ton of fun though and when I go back it’ll be around Christmas. I definitely want to see what Christmas vendors set up there. There is no way I saw to make sure you see it all. I couldn’t find a rhyme or reason to how booths and pavilions were setup and no logical way to follow rows or anything. I don’t think this would be a good place to bring children, I imagine they’d get tired and you’d miss a lot.

Overwhelming but a fun time
We arrived early afternoon on a Friday, not crowded, beautiful day very enjoyable. Saturday we returned to another beautiful day and it was a lot more crowded. The excessive amount of scooters people have rented are annoying as they go so slow and are everywhere, I saw entire families on them with their kids in their laps and wondering why they couldn't just walk. I would say we had so much fun! They offer a mix of new merchandise, flea market and antiques. Shopping heaven for me. Next time we will go on Thur and Friday and leave the Saturday crowds to everyone else. Wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen and be prepared to walk!
