AVO Feature: Brimfield Antiques Market

The Brimfield Antiques market in Massachusetts is very likely where the saying “there is something for everyone” was born. Taking place only 3 times a year, this “show” spans over a mile and boasts 6,000 dealers and 100,000+ visitors a week. Sadly this year we missed the chance to check out the show first hand, so instead take a look at Cool Hunting’s recent trip to this extraordinary market.
