Ripley’s First Monday Trade Days and Flea Market
First Monday Trade Days is a historic, monthly outdoor flea market in Ripley, Mississippi, held on the Saturday and Sunday before the first Monday of each month. Established in 1893 on the Ripley Court Square, it has grown into one of the oldest, and longest continually running, trade days in the United States.
Today, the market spans more than 50 acres and features hundreds of vendors offering everything from antiques and vintage treasures to handcrafted goods, tools, home décor, and farm items. Visitors can stroll through rows of unique finds, enjoy local food, and experience the lively, small-town atmosphere that makes First Monday a regional favorite. Blending history, community, and one-of-a-kind shopping, it’s a must-visit event for anyone exploring Ripley and North Mississippi.
