So we walked around the food court area, most of the stalls were closed. I appreciated the variety of eateries available. We spent time browsing the mini grocery area, where they sell various interesting items such as honey comb and Turkish delight. My friend bought dried chamomile flowers in bulk to make tea. It was only a quarter the price of buying chamomile tea bags! In the building were some interesting art sculptures. I really like mixed use spaces like this.

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

I just love this place. So unique! You never know what you'll find in there. We were pleasantly…read moresurprised to see a little vendor market in the back room which they happen to do every Sunday. A good mix of old and new, local made and beyond. We got a couple shirts this round. My favorite shirt is the minneapolis alligator farm which I bought there previously! Prices are pretty standard. The employees are lovely!

They had a community in another room that looks like they were having a dungeons and Dragons Gathering as well which is pretty cool. Great selection of shirts, comic books and other unusual finds.

The vendors range from live music, belly dancers, henna artists, handmade jewelry, clothing, and of course, food! This year, Union Hmong Kitchen is a new vendor! They absolutely rocked their first year and I hope they return. I enjoyed the Lemongrass Tofu dish with purple sticky rice the most.

A fairly large flea market I attended a few times last year, once with my friend Chris who set up a…read morebooth (I sold an old receiver and a cd player that day...) and once this year, so far. It's not crazy big like other state's flea markets but it consumes the entire Medina Entertainment Center lot and an entire gravel overflow section above the Center. There's a lot of antique-type stuff that seemed semi useless to me, but people were buying it, tons of local-related sports memorabilia, and even a guy pitching "professional grade" rug cleaner a la Billy Mays! I can walk around for a couple hours easily. It has always been well attended the times I've gone. The organiser rolls around a different points with meat raffle tickets for $1, and there's a soda/mini donut wagon parked. All of that being said, it's a low-key, lazy affair. Tip for first time visitors: if you're coming in from Minneapolis direction, make the turn just before The Medina (at the lights), the parking is in a grassy field behind the flea market. You can't miss it. Edit: I should add that it's held on Sundays and has been known to cancel for weather reasons.

I grew up just west of where this flea market is held, and I have been going to it since I was quite young. People come from far away places to sell their treasures...and in turn...people come from far away places to buy said treasures... I mean, where else in the Twin Cities can you buy a vintage Nintendo game, an antique bench, and a baby ferret - all in the same place? Even if you don't buy anything - rummaging through the acres of goodies is a really fun way to spend a Sunday morning!

It helps generate income for Rochester and the surrounding small towns with people getting hotel rooms and camp sights and eating out and exploring the local flavor. Traffic can be a nightmare if you don't know how to navigate ---most people park and get a golf cart ride to the area. Put on your most comfortable walking shoes because you will do some walking. If you enjoy flea markets and antique shopping this is right up your alley.....you will probably want to take a little push cart to hold your treasures....one year I purchased a heavy rusted dinner bell and had to lug that thing around--but it did build up my muscles....
