The League of Women Voters of Harvard and the Harvard Schools Trust are pleased to announce the 52nd Annual Harvard Flea Market, to be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the grounds of the Bromfield School (Rain date: Sunday, October 6). Cash admission is $5 per person for adults and seniors; $1 per child ages 6 to 12; and $10 for early birds (7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.).
Bargain hunters will descend upon Harvard for the 52nd year to attend the largest one-day outdoor flea market northwest of Boston. Shoppers come with bags and carts in tow to visit over 180 booths filled with antiques and collectibles – toys, games, jewelry and vintage clothing, seasonal décor, artwork and paintings, pottery and glassware, and so much more.
The flea market boasts a popular food court area with both traditional favorites and ethnic cuisines including Thai food and specialty desserts. The Harvard Lions Club serves up hamburgers, cheeseburgers, samosas, veggie burgers, hotdogs, fries, sweet potato fries, funnel cakes and fresh squeezed lemonade and drinks. The Congregational Church of Harvard will hold its Apple Festival “Pies on the Common”, selling homemade harvest soup and apple pies fresh from local ovens. To add to the festivity, music will be provided by California Dreamers and One Twenty Too.
There will be parking and restrooms available with handicap access. Please do not block private driveways - parking restrictions will be strictly enforced, including ticketing and towing. Emergency staff will be onsite to assist with any medical emergencies. The Harvard Flea Market gatekeepers will accept cash only (no checks or credit/debit cards) for admission. Some booth vendors may accept credit card payments via Square® or other apps, but most accept only cash. Dogs are permitted at the flea market provided they are on a leash and their owners pick up after them.
Recommendation: The state has declared Harvard High Risk for EEE. Though the risk is greatest from dusk until dawn, it is recommended that you apply EPA-approved mosquito repellant at any time and consider wearing long-sleeved clothing, and socks during the early morning hours.
