The Springfield Antique Show & Flea Market is one of the largest events of its’ type in the world. It has been ranked as high as the #2 event in the world by a person who sits in a cubicle and ranks things for magazines. On that particular list, the Paris Flea Market was ranked #1. I’ve been to the Paris Flea Market, and folks, it’s no Springfield.

Tickets for the show are only available at the show. Cash and exact change are greatly appreciated. Admission is $3 for our monthly shows. Children under 16 are free. Extravaganza admission is as follows- Early Bird Buying is $20 from 7 a.m. to noon and includes readmission for the entire show. General Admission is $12 per person, per day beginning at noon on Friday, through Sunday. Line buying is a special feature geared to people in the trade only in May and September. Our vendors line up early Thursday morning before moving to their spaces later in the afternoon. Many will open the backs of their vehicles and offer things for sale. Keep in mind, this is only a very small percentage of the merchandise that is offered at the show. This is not for retail customers- only serious trade buyers and serious collectors. The fee for line buying is $50 per person and covers all three days of the show.
We do have a mobility scooter rental service at both the May and September shows. They are rented on a first come, first served basis in a booth behind our front show office. Bringing your golf cart to the show is not allowed. The Extravaganzas are so large and usually somewhat crowded, so from a safety and liability standpoint the only carts on the ground are the Sheriff’s Dept. carts and show staff carts. If you do need mobility help, rental scooters are allowed as well as your own four wheeled scooters are permitted, just not golf carts.
Our show is very large- click here for a show map. When you buy an item that you are planning to get later, here are some helpful tips.
Please check our hotel link on the website. Please book ahead, especially for Extravaganzas. Waiting until the last minute can mean staying in Columbus or Dayton- both about 30–60-minute drives depending on what part of town your hotel is located.
We recommend the following things in no particular order:
We pride ourselves on the selection of food available at the show. Our Extravaganzas usually have over 30 food vendors. They feature varied offerings including Wood Fired Pizza, Barbecue, German Sausage, Hand-made Amish pretzels as well as traditional favorites found at your favorite events. We even have a beer tent and frozen cocktails. Our motto is “the Springfield Antique Show will fill your stomach as well as your car or truck.” Our monthly shows usually have a few food stands, no one leaves hungry.
They are located in the Arts, Annex, Mercantile and Youth Buildings, the show ring barn and we also have banks of port-a-potties located at the ends of the runways and scattered throughout the grounds.
