It’s official, the Elephant’s Trunk 2021 Season is open! Our amazing Vendors from all over New England have been stockpiling treasures all winter long, so if you’re seeking that rare and unusual find…..it’s quite possible the Trunk is your destination. This is the best way to get some fresh air and remedy your major TRUNK withdrawal!! We’re voted best in Connecticut by CT Magazine. We’re open every Sunday, April – December pending weather and field conditions. Please remember that masks must be worn at all times, no exceptions. See you at the Trunk!
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 6:55am, 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.

I have come to the Trunk to buy and to sell. It is the best flea market I have ever been to. The variety of merchandise is incredible and the food vendors do a very good job. The market is well run and the vast majority of the vendors bring interesting stuff. If I wasn’t a vendor, I would be there to shop.

Well run with an astounding amount of quality antique and vintage merchandise. And the lemonade is delicious!

Made my first trip to the Trunk this past Sunday and I was very impressed. You folks do everything the way it should be done. Parking is easy, the field is well set up, admission is reasonable, and the dealer selection was terrific. I wish we lived closer because I would love to set up a table there!
