It’s not the cheapest but can really save your back/legs! We are always saying we should buy our own but then the question is-how to get it to Canton?? lol!
Hi! How exciting! First start with Air BnB to see if there’s anything available. I recommend the Acorn Hideaway Suites in Canton. They are rustic rooms and the hosts are wonderful! I prefer to stay in town cuz after a day of running the grounds…I’m tired and don’t want to drive far! There are regular hotels in canton as well but their price doubles for First Monday weekends. The next closest town to look into is Wills Point-there is a Best Western there. I’ve also stayed as far as Emory in a yurt!
Yes there are vintage clothing vendors-but it’s most often casual clothing like tees and denim. You can find nicer pieces here and there like dresses and fur coats. Also, you never know what vendors will pop up and have some neat vintage items! That’s half the fun. I’ve never seen a vintage shoe booth other than cowboy boots. Shoes would be mixed in with other booths. Vintage clothing will be spread around the outdoor areas. You can also find vintage clothing at the Dixie Lofts, Civic Center, and tons of used denim at The Porch on Row 46. The Civic center vendor also has vintage formal and wedding dresses. I hope this helps!! Have fun!
There is an area that sells animals called Dog Alley. Mostly puppies but I’ve also seen for sale: birds of all varieties, chickens, roosters, pigs, goats, kittens, peacocks, goats, and cows. I’m sure it varies monthly based on what breeders are there and what animals they brought. Exact breeds and reptiles-that part I’m not sure about. I don’t go to dog alley much because I want to take ALL the puppies with me and my little heart can’t handle it!!!!!
For a newbie, I say the best place to park is the first parking area you drive upon! Also, you’ll want to download the Trade Day Navigator App for your trip: You’ll be able to drop a pin where you parked so you can easily find your way back to it!
No admission-it’s free! But, parking is $5 or $10 depending on the lot. If u want to do some extra walking, you can park at the Canton Marketplace for free and walk over to the grounds.
