First Monday is the World’s Largest Flea Market. By 1965, people had been buying and selling things there for so long that it outgrew the Town Square where it had originated. Ironically, although it started out as occurring only on the first Monday of every month, nowadays it excludes that and is only open from Thursday to Sunday. This is the perfect place for any avid shopper and spender! You can find and collect so many unique things here and there.
