   We heard about Brimfield for years and finally made the 800+ mile trip in May. Wow--you can find virtually anything at Brimfield from the highest end antiques to real flea market bargains. We stayed for 3 days. Don't be afraid to bargain! Some vendors won't budge, but most will. What we didn't realize is that there are vendors there for the entire show, and then there are one day shows and two day shows, so it's a good idea to check the show calendar to make sure you're there for the day shows. Each day show is held in a different field, and it really takes an entire day to go through one field, which has hundreds of vendors. We missed one of the one day shows, unfortunately. The one day shows charge an admission fee. I think it was $5 per person, well worth it. There are no admission fees for the vendors along the main road and some of the smaller fields. There's paid parking all along the main road. The earlier you arrive, the better your chances of getting a spot closest to the one day shows and main fields. Closer parking is more expensive ($8-$10 if memory serves), but you'll appreciate being close after walking all day. If you're buying furniture, you can drive in to pick up your treasures. If you're buying "smalls", take a rolling cart that will roll well on uneven ground. Some bubble wrap, newspaper, or other packing material would be good, too. Food and drink are available along the route, but I'd recommend taking a bottle of water and some crackers. Restrooms are available. Dress comfortably, preferably in layers appropriate to the season. This is not a place for pets, so don't bring them. It would be unfair to the animal, and I think they're prohibited in most areas anyway. See more..
