Canton Flea Market Arts & Crafts Show (Fall)

The Canton Flea Market Arts and Crafts Show is a one-day handmade market owned by the City of Canton and managed by the Canton Convention and Visitors Bureau. It draws artisans from around the country to the grounds of the historic Madison County Courthouse and nearby streets, with pottery, jewelry, and other crafts that must be handmade or partly handmade. Fine art, boutiques, and antique stores ring the historic square. Displays also spread to Union and Center Streets, church properties on Peace Street, the Old Jail Museum behind City Hall, and two blocks of East Fulton Street. Category quotas keep any one craft type from crowding out the rest.

Our take: Start on the courthouse grounds for the handmade booths, then walk Union, Center, Peace, and East Fulton for the overflow exhibits.
