Weather or Not: Why Our Spring Flea Market is Fun Rain or Shine

Shoppers explore unique handcrafted items and vintage treasures at Farmgirl Flea's bustling Spring Market.

Spring in Michigan can be unpredictable. One minute it’s a sunny 70-degree day and then the next day it’s below freezing and snowing. Whether it’s bright and breezy or cool and drizzly, our Spring Flea Market is an unforgettable experience—rain or shine.

But here at Farmgirl Flea, we like to say: bring it on! 

Our Spring Flea Market doesn’t depend on perfect weather, it creates the perfect experience no matter what Mother Nature throws our way. 

Sunshine? Perfect for Picking!

When the sun is shining, there’s no better way to spend the day than strolling through our curated vendor booths, sipping a lemonade, and uncovering your next favorite vintage find. Our outdoor spaces bloom with energy, color, and creativity. You’ll find everything from farmhouse antiques and handcrafted goods to repurposed treasures and boutique clothing—all with a clear blue sky overhead.

Rain? No Problem!

A little drizzle never dampens our spirit! Many of our vendors are under tents or sheltered areas, and we make sure walkways stay safe and accessible. Plus, some of the best deals and coziest moments happen when the weather turns a little moody. Throw on a cute rain jacket or your favorite boots, grab a hot coffee from a food truck, and enjoy a more relaxed pace as you browse. 

Pro Tips for Any Forecast:

Not sure how to prepare for the Michigan weather? We got you covered. 

Here are some tips for how to have the best experience at Farmgirl Flea this spring, whatever the weather has in store: 

• Layer up! Michigan spring weather can shift by the hour. Layers keep you ready for sun or sprinkles.

• Bring a tote or cart—rain or shine, you’ll find plenty to take home. Bonus points if you bring a bag that is waterproof to protect your found treasures. 

• Snap pics! A little overcast never hurt a photo-op! Cloudy skies are the best form of lighting for your flea market selfies and booth photos. 

• Support local! Rainy days are the perfect opportunity to take things slow. It’s the perfect time to chat with vendors and learn the stories behind their goods.
