Whether they’re trying to beat traffic, find a prime parking spot or want the best shot at finding what they’re looking for, there are lots of reasons why people show up at the Brimfield Flea Market at the crack of dawn.
Most vendors open around 8 a.m., but many are open as early as 6 a.m. For those bleary-eyed bargain hunters in need of a caffeine boost and some fuel to get the day going, there are about 20 food vendors offering coffee and breakfast throughout the 5-mile stretch of Route 20′s fields in Brimfield.
Search the guide below, which is divided by field, simply by doing a CTRL-F search and plugging in a keyword, such as coffee, tea, breakfast sandwich or doughnut. This map shows where each field is. The photo gallery below includes a photo of all of the food vendors.
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.
