Set for October 3–4, Brimfield North has grown into New Hampshire’s largest antique show, flea market, and food truck festival. The event draws thousands of visitors from across New England for a weekend filled with antiques, collectibles, handmade goods, and live entertainment.

What Visitors Can Expect
With more than 400 vendors expected, shoppers can browse everything from vintage furniture, collectibles, artwork, and locally made products. Organizers say the event is designed to appeal to serious antique collectors as well as visitors simply looking for a unique day out.
Brimfield North offers more than traditional antique shopping. The event combines a large outdoor market with a food truck festival and live entertainment throughout the weekend.
Food trucks from around the region will serve a wide variety of snacks and specialty items. Live music and family friendly activities will help create a festival atmosphere across the fairgrounds.
Organizers describe the show as a full day experience where guests can shop, eat, explore, and spend time discovering unexpected finds.
Early Bird Shopping for Serious Collectors
For antique enthusiasts and dedicated collectors, Early Bird admission provides a quieter shopping experience with first access to vendor inventory before the general public enters.
The option has become increasingly popular among collectors searching for rare antiques, collectibles, and high demand pieces before they disappear from vendor booths.
