The Collective DC

Fifty dealers are flocking back to Zip Code 20007 with their antique and vintage wares: furniture, rugs, art, books, maps, mirrors, sterling and silverplate, fine and costume jewelry, table linens, china, flatware, lamps, vases, linens, clothing, garden ornaments, architectural elements and political memorabilia (hey, this is Washington in an election year.)

The city’s longest-running outdoor flea has always been a favorite haunt of area collectors, decorators, antiques dealers, tourists and celebrities, including actress Diane Keaton and Pulitzer prize-winning author Larry McMurtry, whose novel, “Cadillac Jack,” a classic tale of the previously-owned, is partly set in Georgetown.

The venerable Georgetown Flea was founded in 1973 by lifelong collector Michael Sussman. “I wanted to create a vibrant marketplace where people could buy, sell and hang out. Today, with the economy and the environment in such trouble, it remains the perfect place to find a bargain and save the planet. Go green! Buy antiques.”

DC City Councilman Jim Graham (Democrat-Ward 1), who fought hard to return the market to Hardy Middle School, said “The Georgetown Flea Market should be in Georgetown. It really contributes to Washington’s vitality. I’m glad the city honored its promise to bring back the market.”

But those of you who have grown to love the Saturday and Sunday markets in Arlington, never fear. There will still be dealers there, too, on Saturdays and Sundays.

Since 1972, the world-famous Georgetown Flea Market has enthralled the D.C. area, attracting bargain lovers and collectors of all kinds, and was immortalized in Larry McMurtry’s Cadillac Jack. With 100+ vendors every weekend, you can find everything from antiques to vintage clothing. Our dedicated vendors are avid and experienced, ready to furbish your home, complete your collection, or provide that perfect gift. Specializing in antiques, collectibles, vintage furnishings, glassware, artwork, and vintage clothing, we’ve got something for everyone!

Sunday is devoted to vintage and antique furnishings. Whether you need antiques, mid-century or shabby chic furniture, vintage clothing, jewelry, or art, we’ve got it all! New vendors are joining weekly, and all vendors are willing to find what you desire. On-site delivery is always available.

Spend the day at the Georgetown Flea Market; you won’t go home empty-handed!
