Wellfleet Flea Market

Cape Cod


One time-honored throwback in this town is the Wellfleet Flea Market, held in summer at the drive-in. This is the largest flea market on the Cape, with 200 dealers selling everything from antiques to newly made objects, and from treasures to junk. Most vendors take cash only. Winter markets are weather dependent.
