First Monday Trade Days is one of the oldest and largest flea markets in the United States, held in Canton, Texas every month. Despite the name, the event actually runs Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month — drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Texas and beyond each year.
The market spans hundreds of acres and features thousands of vendors selling everything from antiques, handmade crafts, and vintage furniture to livestock, tools, clothing, and collectibles. It’s a bucket-list experience for bargain hunters, antique lovers, and anyone who enjoys the energy of a massive outdoor market.
Upcoming 2026 First Monday Trade Days dates:
Pro tip: Arrive Thursday or Friday to beat the weekend crowds and get first pick of vendor booths. Staying at an RV park near Canton means you can walk the grounds at your own pace across multiple days — no rushing, no hotel checkout pressure.
Location is everything when it comes to Trade Days. Canton I-20 RV Park is positioned directly off Interstate 20 — just minutes from the Trade Days grounds — making it the most convenient RV base camp in the area. You get the best of both worlds: immediate highway access for easy arrival and departure, and a surprisingly quiet, peaceful park atmosphere once you’re parked.
Here’s what makes it the go-to RV park for First Monday Trade Days visitors:
Roll in Thursday afternoon and get your RV set up at Canton I-20 RV Park. Contactless check-in means you can arrive at any hour without waiting on staff. Once you’re hooked up, head into Canton for dinner. The Buffalo Grill is a local favorite for hearty Texas meals, and Ochoa’s serves up some of the best Tex-Mex in Van Zandt County. End the evening at the covered patio area back at the park — it’s a great spot to relax and plan your Trade Days strategy.
Friday is the sweet spot. Crowds are lighter than the weekend, vendors are fully set up, and you have time to cover serious ground. Wear comfortable shoes — the Trade Days market is massive. Bring a cart or wagon for your finds. Head back to the park for a midday break if needed; the short drive makes it easy.
Saturday brings the biggest crowds and the most energy. Arrive early. Grab breakfast at the Dairy Palace in Canton — a local institution — before the rush. Spend the day exploring vendor sections you may have missed on Friday. The park’s pool is a welcome reward after a long day on your feet.
Sunday is great for deals — many vendors discount items rather than pack them back up. Take your time, load up your finds, and enjoy a relaxed checkout. With direct I-20 access and no stoplights, getting back on the highway is effortless.
If you’re staying for an extended visit — or planning to return for multiple Trade Days events — Van Zandt County has plenty to keep you busy between market weekends.
Many Trade Days regulars — vendors, collectors, and dedicated shoppers — choose to stay at Canton I-20 RV Park on a monthly basis rather than making the drive back and forth each month. A monthly RV site here puts you within minutes of the grounds every single event, with all utilities included and no surprise bills at the end of the month.
Monthly stays are also popular with:
The park’s Premium and Ultra Premium site tiers offer larger concrete pads, greater spacing between sites, and improved privacy — ideal for guests who want a more comfortable long-term setup. On-site storage sheds (available in sizes from 8×8 up to 12×24) give monthly guests a place to store gear, tools, or Trade Days finds between visits.
Canton I-20 RV Park offers 44 full hookup RV sites across multiple tiers, all with individual water, sewer, and electric connections:
All sites accommodate travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. The large number of pull-through sites makes arrival and departure easy — especially important when you’re hauling a large rig or towing a vehicle.
Canton I-20 RV Park offers competitive nightly, weekly, and monthly rates with all utilities included — electricity, water, sewer, and WiFi. Monthly rates provide the best value for Trade Days regulars, extended travelers, and workforce guests who need a reliable home base along I-20.
