Mile High Flea Market

Mile High Flea Market stands out in Henderson as a member of United Flea Markets, tying this long-running weekend market to a wider flea market network while keeping its own Front Range scale and rhythm. The market runs every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7am to 5pm, and its own history notes vendors have been selling here every weekend since 1976. That continuity matters at a place built for lingering: food concessions, rides, entertainment, and a large vendor presence all sit inside the same market footprint, so a shopping trip can easily turn into a several-hour outing.

Why it matters locally

Since 1976, Mile High Flea Market has given local farmers, crafters, garage salers, side hustlers, hobbyists, and business starters a regular place to sell every weekend. That mix makes the market more than a single-category stop. It is set up for many kinds of small-scale selling under one roofline of activity, from food stands to entertainment to vendor booths spread across the grounds.

Its scale is also part of its local role. The market makes a 3,000-vendor claim, pointing to a large footprint for weekend commerce in Henderson. Add the on-site rides, main stage entertainment area, and concession program, and the market reads less like a quick errand stop and more like an all-day trading ground where selling, eating, and hanging out happen side by side.

What you'll find there

Food is one of the clearest through-lines here, with stands ranging from Mexican plates and street food to sweets, drinks, and bar setups woven into the market layout. The concession roster also suggests a place where shoppers often stay for a meal or snack instead of making a quick pass.

A live music series is part of the entertainment mix, and the Main Stage Covered area includes seating for that programming. The market also highlights rides on the grounds, located around 4th and 5th Avenue between L and K Streets.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change how you plan the trip. The market also notes that restrooms are not available, so this is a place to enter with timing in mind rather than assume standard public-market amenities. The schedule is consistent across all three operating days, opening at 7am and running until 5pm year-round.

For wayfinding inside the grounds, the ticket booth is at 4th Avenue and L Street, while rides are at 4th and 5th Avenue between L and K Streets. The market states payment methods clearly, and the amount of food, entertainment, and vendor activity here points toward a longer visit rather than a quick in-and-out stop.
