Went to more of those as a kid than I can count.
I enjoyed some of these. Played music at some.
They still have them, but they don’t get the traffic they used to. The yearly big one which included Art Sunday is this weekend. If you wanted to see it again, this would be the weekend to do it.

Remember them well. Once saw a set if well-worn false teeth set out, marked 25 cents!
My mom used to tell a story of taking not her parents, who were from Prichard, AL, to Fordt Monday, many years ago. As they were walking along, they saw a man with a flatbed trailer stacked with used barbed and bailing wire and the like. Her father questioned why anyone would sell used wire and such, and, more to the point, who would buy it. On the way back to their car, they passed the old man, standing next to an empty trailer, counting a large roll of bills…… My grandfather still couldn’t believe it!
And it only took a few council members to ruin it. Now it’s a joke but used to be a decent flea market.
Interesting and fun
