The Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market is OPEN for the 2026 season
Celebrating 50 Years!

💔 CLOSED SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th

Three weeks in a row… this has never happened before.

We know how disappointing this is for our Vendors, Customers, Staff and everyone who looks forward to Sundays at the Trunk. It truly pains us to not be able to open.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has other plans. A Nor’easter is moving up the East Coast this weekend, bringing weather conditions that are simply beyond our control.

We are just as eager to be back as you are. Thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding. ❤️

We’ll be back as soon as Mother Nature allows! 🐘

THE TRUNK EXPERIENCE

VENDORS

It all starts before the sun comes up. Vendors from all over the east coast make their way to the pre-dawn lineup. At 4:15am, the gates to the parking lot open and cars are queued up waiting for their turn to get loaded onto the field. Many of the loyal vendors of this community have been attending since the very start of this market in the 1970s.

However, every week there is a unique mix of old and new vendors bringing merchandise that captivates all the senses. By 6:50am, the field gates are closed and vendors are busy unloading their trucks and displaying their wares for the droves of buyers that come crashing through the gates at 7:00am seeking deals of every sort.
