flea market

A flea market is a type of open-air market or bazaar where secondhand goods, antiques, collectibles, and other used items are sold. It is typically organized on specific days or weekends, often in temporary or improvised spaces such as parking lots, fields, or empty buildings. The name "flea market" originated from the French term "marché aux puces," meaning "market of fleas," referring to the possibility of finding fleas-infested items due to the sale of used belongings. Flea markets are popular for bargain hunters, vintage enthusiasts, and those looking for unique or unusual items.
