Midwest Vintage Flea

media release: Midwest Vintage Flea Fall 2024 is Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3, 2024. The 2-day event will be hosted at Garver Feed Mill (3241 Garver Green, Madison, WI 53704 garverfeedmill.com). General admission is free. Doors open to the public on Saturday at 11AM til 6PM, and again on Sunday 10AM til 4PM.

Since 2016, Midwest Vintage Flea is Wisconsin’s largest and premier vintage fashion trade show. This event happens twice a year, Spring and Fall, and has made residency at Garver Feed Mill since 2021. The event selects 45 prominent and preeminent talents in the trade and provides a highly-anticipated 2-day indoor shopping event on Saturday and Sunday. The event is a production of Good Style Shop, LLC, a vintage clothing store on Madison’s isthmus.

Like a traditional flea market, Midwest Vintage Flea is composed of individual vendors with their own individual points-of-sale or cash exchanges. If you want to purchase an item from booth #3, simply return to the booth’s attendee and pay the person at both #3 directly. All our vendors are required to mark their individual tags with their branding / namesake for easy shopping. If you can’t determine which booth your desired purchase originated, any of our Midwest Vintage Flea staffers will assist you.

Can I try anything on? Absolutely yes. Since the beginning, Midwest Vintage Flea prides itself on providing full-service fitting rooms easily found on your map. There are 6 complete fitting rooms, with a limit of 8 articles in a booth at once. This helps us keep the lines orderly and customers satisfied with wait times. If anything doesn’t fit, just leave the garment on the return rack and our staff will return the item to the appropriate vendor. If anything gets damaged, there is no cost to you as we have rules and expectations posted for all attendees. We believe trying on vintage is part of making a confident choice!

As of 2023, we require all our vendors to accept cash and credit. As for cash transfer apps (Venmo, CashApp, etc), these forms of payment will vary from vendor to vendor. However, event ownership will be streamlining vendor requirements in future events.All sales are final unless otherwise explicitly stated directly by the individual vendor.

We offer 50 “early bird” tickets for attendees willing to purchase $20 advance tickets for exclusive shopping one hour ahead of general admission. Early Bird access is Saturday, Nov. 2, 10AM to 11AM. Early Bird access is limited to 50 tickets and strictly enforced, meaning no one without registration and proof of purchase (hand stamp) is admitted.
