Princeton is the home of the state’s largest outdoor weekly flea market, which is open mid-April through mid-October every Saturday! If you haven’t experienced our Market in the tree-shaded City Park, put it on your list of things to do. Day-trippers come from Milwaukee, Madison, the Fox Cities and all points in-between to enjoy this Market and all Princeton has to offer. Come early--it opens at 6:00am and wraps up in the early afternoon—then wander around town for more shopping and lunch!
