Walking up and down dusty paths pulling a wagon full of treasures is the kind of labor of love that builds up an appetite fast and for those spending the better part of a day scouring for deals at the Brimfield Flea Market, this rundown of all the places to eat during the six-day antique show will help you refuel for hours more shopping.
Sure, you can bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an apple to tide you over through lunch, but then you’d miss out on the fair-favorite Pilgrim sandwich or the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, not to mention the burgers, hot dogs, kettle corn, steak bombs, gyros, lemonades, doughnuts, soba noodles, gluten-free pizza and just about everything in between.
The Brimfield Flea Market — which is offered every year in May, July and September — opens Tuesday, July 9 and wraps up Sunday, July 14. The antique show features more than 20 fields along a 5-mile stretch of Route 20 in Brimfield, each offering dozens of vendors full of antiques, collectibles, vintage goods and flea market finds.
Most fields offer food — there are about 50 places to eat, mostly in the form of food trucks but, in some cases, under a pavilion or in a building. The list below is divided by field. Reference this map to locate a field.
You can search the guide below simply by doing a CTRL-F search and plugging in a keyword, such as pizza, gluten-free, vegetable or coffee. You can also see a photo of each vendor in the gallery below.
NOTE: This list, compiled at the May 2024 show, may not be comprehensive. Some food vendors may not have returned or may have moved fields. To update the list, email feedback@masslive.com.
