If you’re on the hunt for a good deal, then Shipshewana is the place to be.

For the 95th straight year, the Shipshewana Flea Market opened on Tuesday, May 2, to the largest flea market in the Midwest.

“We estimate between 12,000 to 15,000 people per week so we’re open for 22 weeks during the course of the year so there’s quite a few hundreds of thousands during the course of the tour season,” Michael Christner, the Shipshewana Flea Market Director, told ABC 57.

About 900 open-air booths are set-up at the flea market, with a wide variety of items for sale, including home decor, accessories, and fresh produce in the farmers market area.

The flea market will continue until September 27. It’s open every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
